Chemists have been practicing organic chemistry for hundreds of years; microbes have been at it even longer. Microbial and other enzymes are superbly enantio-, chemo-, and regioselective across a ...

Enzymes evolved to efficiently operate in low-temperature environments via key substitutions of amino acids in their active site, which lowers the activation energy of catalytic reactions. Life has ...

Enzymes from cold-loving organisms that live at low temperatures, close to the freezing point of water, display highly distinctive properties. In a new study published in Nature Communications, ...

Scientists studying a COVID-19 coronavirus enzyme at temperatures ranging from frosty to human-body warm discovered subtle structural shifts that offer clues about how the enzyme works. The findings ...

Previous attempts at building a chemical computer have been too simple, too rigid or too hard to scale, but an approach based ...

Enzymes originally evolved in high-temperature environments and later adapted to lower temperatures as Earth cooled. Scientists discovered that a key shift in enzyme function occurred over ...

Characteristics of Enzymes: Enzymes are proteins and the properties and characteristics they exhibit reflect properties of protein. They are organic catalysts that speed up biological reactions ...

The right combination of fruit-based enzymes, low temperatures and a slow cooking process can allow ready meal manufacturers to tap into the trend for slow-cooked meats and add value to cheaper cuts, ...
