A new light-activated catalyst breaks and resets carbon–halogen bonds to convert racemic mixtures into enantiomerically ...

Arifur Rahim from Monash University's Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, created a self-regenerating catalytic system with unprecedented efficiency. The new catalyst demonstrated ...

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. They are essential for life, as they play a crucial role in various biological processes, such as digestion, ...

Our researchers study catalysts that may be small molecules, biological macromolecules, or solid materials, which harness light, electricity, or thermal energy as inputs. An important area of research ...

This revelation advances our understanding of evolutionary biology and suggests that it might be possible for biological ...

Biocatalysis is the chemical process through which enzymes or other biological catalysts perform reactions between organic components. Biocatalysis has been used widely in the pharmaceutical ...

A catalyst increases the rate of a reaction but it is not used up in the reaction. If a catalyst is present, the reacting particles can collide more successfully with less energy and so the ...

Choi Min-ki, a professor in the Department of Biological Chemistry at the Korea ... a low-temperature and low-pressure ammonia synthesis catalyst that exhibits over seven times the performance ...

Enzymes are generally proteins but also include catalytic DNA and catalytic RNA. As effective biological catalysts, enzymes work by lowering a reaction’s activation energy barrier, thereby ...
