Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have discovered important new clues in the mystery of how an ...

To make advances in using microbes to sustainably produce materials, it is necessary to find new molecular tools, or ...

Enzymes are often superior to catalysts we can make in a lab, and as such, much research has gone into finding ways to harness such enzymes to do reactions for us in the lab. Unfortunately, it is ...

The team also tweaked the enzyme’s active site, where chemical catalysis takes place. For years, scientists have assumed that it was essential to have a ring-shaped amino acid in a key position ...

Enzyme mechanisms are the chemical transformations, and the steps within them, generated by enzymatic action on substrates. The mechanism of enzyme catalysis is similar in principle to other types ...

A pioneering research lab at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has achieved another milestone using light-driven enzymatic reactions to ...

Researchers in the US have looked to biology to develop an anionic organic photocatalyst that can reduce arenes with visible ...

By combining artificial intelligence with automated robotics and synthetic biology, researchers at the University of Illinois ...

For the first of these tasks Dr Baker and his colleagues use RF diffusion, an AI model they have developed to predict a ...

Bacteria in the urinary tract can convert corticosteroids into androgens, hormones that promote the growth of prostate cancer ...

New research reveals that sugar metabolism in brain cells may be a crucial defense against Alzheimer’s and related dementias.
