We report that simple glycoside donors can drastically shift the equilibria of glycosyltransferase-catalyzed reactions, transforming NDP-sugar formation from an endothermic to an exothermic process.

Scientists show enhanced enzyme diffusion after catalysis actively drives reactions away from equilibrium, offering a new ...

The challenge of engineering efficient photosynthetic and respiratory energy conversion is to favour productive electron and proton transfer reactions that generate or use membrane proton motive force ...

Living cells are sustained by countless chemical reactions that must be carefully regulated to maintain internal order and function. Enzymes play a ...

A dynamic equilibrium is formed in a reversible reaction when the rates of the forward and reverse reaction are equal and the amounts of the reactants and the products remains constant. In this ...
