Inspired by what human liver enzymes can do, Scripps Research chemists have developed a new set of copper-catalyzed organic synthesis reactions for building and modifying pharmaceuticals and other ...

When Perry Frey attended a lecture by Robert Abeles about cofactor-mediated enzyme catalysis ... yen for organic chemistry remained, and he argues that synthesizing likely reaction intermediates ...

The structure of a vancomycin biosynthetic enzyme in ... upon binding of the organic substrate, or molecular oxygen, or both? The catalytic intermediates of the reaction catalyzed by DpgC are ...

Similarly, enzymes -- proteins that speed up biochemical reactions (catalysis) in cells -- have adapted to the habitats of their host organisms. Each enzyme has an optimal temperature range where ...

Her major assignment was to study reactions to acceleration of chemical changes in enzymes (enzyme catalysis). Cohn used an isotope of oxygen to gain insight on organic phosphates. In 1958, she began ...

Generation of hydrogen (H₂) by means of photocatalysis has been at the forefront of research since the 1970s because it can ...

In a groundbreaking study, a series of zirconium-based metal-organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) were successfully synthesized in ...

The overarching goal of his research is to understand how enzymes control catalysis. The Stull lab primarily focuses ... which we exploit in order to study their reaction mechanisms using transient ...

Pericyclases catalyse a special class of organic reactions called pericyclic reactions ... the team have studied these pericyclases to understand how the enzymes evolved and the mechanisms behind the ...
