This article shows how enzymatic activity can be effectively determined by means of the Eppendorf BioSpectrometer. The preliminary measurements were carried out by utilizing the “single λ-continuous” ...

The ability to simultaneously operate reaction networks in one pot is highly attractive as large modifications of molecular structure or perfect optical purity can be achieved in one processing step, ...

Industrial biocatalysis with enzymes is deemed to be a 'game changer' in the development of a sustainable chemical industry. Enzymes can be used to synthesize an impressive range of complex molecules, ...

Enzyme kinetics involves the measurement of the rate at which chemical reactions that are catalyzed by enzymes occur. Knowledge about the kinetics of an enzyme can reveal useful information about its ...

When it comes to building molecules, proteins in our bodies often do a better job than even the best chemists in a lab. That’s why scientists are trying to harness their power to find new ways to make ...

A research team has investigated biliverdin reductase, the enzyme producing bilirubin -- a substance linked with jaundice -- from biliverdin (BV). Two BV molecules were found at the enzyme reaction ...

All living things depend on millions of chemical reactions that happen constantly. Chemical reactions that keep you alive happen fast! When you eat food, breathe, play, and grow, all of these are ...

By fusing enzyme fragments to antibodies, researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo, in Japan, developed an innovative enzyme switch called "Switchbody," which is activated when bound to its ...

The ability to respond to changing surroundings was once considered exclusive to complex living organisms. Then came ...

Enzymes help digest food, clean laundry, make perfumes, and build medicines. They also break down toxins in the environment. Because of their wide use, scientists have worked for years to create ...
