Enzymes accelerate reactions by helping to lower the activation energy needed to start them. But how enzymes achieve this has been the subject of intense debate. A research team from Texas and China ...

Practically all biochemical processes involve enzymes that accelerate chemical reactions. A research team from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has now for the first time deciphered the ...

It is well known in physics and chemistry that equal charges repel each other, while opposite charges attract. It was long assumed that this principle also applies when enzymes – the biological ...

Enzymes with specific functions are becoming increasingly important in industry, medicine and environmental protection. For ...

AN EXAMPLE OF the way enzymes accelerate reactions, which students have been reading about in textbooks for decades, is wrong and will have to be corrected, according to researchers who have obtained ...

In the human body, proteins called enzymes help speed up chemical reactions that are vital for life. After you eat, enzymes help your body break down food and obtain energy. Enzymes are also ...

Enzymes with specific functions are becoming increasingly important in industry, medicine and environmental protection. For example, they make it ...

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 ...
