A team of researchers, led by Professor Chae Un Kim from the Department of Physics at UNIST, has successfully tracked the catalytic pathway of carbonic anhydrase II (CAII), an enzyme that converts ...

Many chemical reactions require the input of energy to activate the transformation. This can often be in the form of heat, or ...

Without Enzyme Catalyst, Slowest Known Biological Reaction Takes 1 Trillion Years. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 3, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2003 / 05 / 030506073321.htm ...

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, ...

A research team led by Prof. Xiaoqiang Huang from Nanjing University has developed a novel non-natural dynamic kinetic ...

In this science activity you will investigate one of these enzymes, called catalase, to find out how it helps to protect your body from damage. Background Enzymes are essential for our survival.

The synthetic catalysts Zhao and his research group are developing are like super enzymes, able to break down cellulose like their natural counterparts, but in more extreme environments and after ...

To achieve methane conversion without that input of energy, the MIT team designed a hybrid catalyst with two components: a zeolite and a naturally occurring enzyme. Zeolites are abundant, inexpensive ...
