When the Caltech researchers tested enzymes sitting in their lab fridge, they found that some enzymes that usually did other jobs could also form carbon-silicon bonds. Those enzymes did “very ...

This equation shows that an enzyme and a substrate bind to form an enzyme-substrate complex (ES). This complex then produces the product. As the enzyme is released at the end and not used up in ...

Terahertz spectroscopy, X-ray absorption analysis and molecular dynamics simulations show that solvent movement is tightly correlated with formation of a productive enzyme–substrate complex, but ...

Image shows the DNMT3A-DNA complex. A research team led by Jikui Song cracked the crystal structure for DNMT3A-DNA complex. The structure reveals that DNMT3A molecules attack two substrate sites ...

Novel enzyme catalyzing the formation of glycosidic bonds in complex sugar moieties characterized Researchers from Japan determine the precise mechanism of action of a beta-1,2-glucan-associated ...

Chemists have coaxed a common enzyme into catalyzing the formation of an enantioselective carbon-nitrogen bond. The approach can generate the preferred enantiomer of amines and anilines within ...

This illustration depicts the process of enzyme catalysis. The enzyme (blue) binds to its substrate (red) to form an enzyme-substrate complex. The enzyme then catalyzes the conversion of the substrate ...

These bonds show up in various biomolecules, so there are many enzymes that can manipulate them. But beyond biology, they also show up in a number of plastic polymers that we use on a large scale ...
