UC Santa Barbara researchers are building out the repertoire of chemical reactions, using light. In a paper published in the journal Nature, chemistry professor Yang Yang and collaborators at the ...

CABBI Postdoc Zhengyi Zhang works at the Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology (IGB) at Illinois. Using photocatalysis, Zhang and his co-authors developed a more cost-effective, eco-friendly way ...

Reactions that can combine more than two molecular pieces in one go are a powerful way to build complexity quickly and save on costly isolation and purification. But the choreography for such a ...

There’s been this dream for decades. What if we could just print out an entire gene directly, one base at a time? —Daniel Lin-Arlow, Ansa Biotechnologies As scientists set their sights on cell and ...

Although you may never have heard of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes, these proteins play diverse and critical roles in humans through the metabolic processing of drugs, pesticides, fatty ...

In practical applications, nothing determines the success of a biocatalysis project more than the precise match between the enzyme and the substrate. Many industrial projects encounter issues such as ...

A new artificial intelligence-powered tool can help researchers determine how well an enzyme fits with a desired target, helping them find the best enzyme and substrate combination for applications ...

The controversial process of enhanced enzyme diffusion could enable living systems to resist local equilibrium ...

Here's what enzymes are, what they do and how you'll know if you are ever low on them.
