Taking inspiration from enzymes, chemists have developed a catalyst to simplify the synthesis of ethers, key functional components of many drugs, foods, personal care items and other consumer goods.

The key components in these cellular reactions are enzymes — protein catalysts that speed up reactions, specify the products that are made, and allow for careful control of the reaction rates.

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, ...
