A peptide bridge is designed to construct a fusion enzyme with electrostatic cofactor channeling, reducing NADPH input by two orders of magnitude or decreasing reaction time threefold with the same ...

Oxidoreductases are key enzymes in biocatalysis, but their dependence on the cofactor nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (phosphate) (NAD(P)) presents challenges due to its high consumption and ...

Researchers have captured real-time "molecular movies" showing how an enzyme changes shape during catalysis. The study was published in Nature Communications. Using an advanced technique called ...

Under certain conditions, some algae are able to produce hydrogen -- a much sought-after green energy source. Its production takes place in the unique catalytic center of the unicellular algae and is ...

Although many organisms capture and respond to sunlight, enzymes - proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions - are rarely driven by light. Scientists have identified only three types of natural ...
