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 ...

As a proof of concept, the engineers then used the same system to convert acetyl-CoA into malate, a commercially valuable ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed a highly efficient cell-free enzyme system that converts fatty acids into 1-alkenes—versatile hydrocarbons that can serve as ...

Thomas Happe, Rieke Haas and Ulf-Peter Apfel (from left) investigated the catalytic centre of the algae in detail in order to better understand the requirements for hydrogen production. “Iron-sulphur ...

Enzymology is the study of enzymes and enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Enzymes are biological catalysts that accelerate the rate of biological reactions. They can also perform multiple reactions ...

In a breakthrough that defies nature, Northwestern University and Stanford University synthetic biologists have created a new artificial metabolism ...

Natural biological systems cannot efficiently convert waste CO₂ or its derivatives into useful building-block chemicals at a scale that can keep pace with rising atmospheric carbon. Engineer a fully ...

In a breakthrough that defies nature, Northwestern University and Stanford University synthetic biologists have created a new artificial metabolism that transforms waste carbon dioxide (CO2) into ...
