The Post group has worked to understand the basis of the catalytic power of enzymes using information from crystallography, kinetics, and a description of conformational distributions from molecular ...

Researchers have made a significant advance toward the goal of using bacteria—rather than fossil fuels—to produce ethylene, a ...

Princeton chemists have found a way to make a naturally occurring enzyme take on a new, artificial role, which has significant implications for modern chemistry, including pharmaceutical production.

Extant enzymes are prodigious catalysts, accelerating chemical reactions by as much as 25 orders of magnitude. However, it is safe to say that no enzyme is perfect in the sense of catalyzing only a ...

A new study published in the journal Nature Catalysis on February 10, 2020, reports the creation of a new artificial enzyme from two components, both non-biological in origin. This event marks the ...

(Nanowerk News) Reporting in Science ("De novo design of porphyrin-containing proteins as efficient and stereoselective catalysts"), researchers at UC Santa Barbara, UCSF and the University of ...

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 ...
