The Post group has worked to understand the basis of the catalytic power of enzymes using information from crystallography, kinetics, and a description of conformational distributions from molecular ...

Life has evolved over billions of years, adapting to the changing environment. Similarly, enzymes—proteins that speed up ...

The mechanism of enzyme catalysis is similar in principle to other types of chemical catalysis, for instance by involving a combination of several different types of catalysis. Determining enzyme ...

Enzymes, the core catalysts in life, drive critical biological processes ranging from metabolic regulation to energy ...

Taking inspiration from enzymes, chemists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign developed a catalyst to simplify the ...

A novel protein cage system can control and visualize orientational changes in aromatic side chains upon ligand binding. By inducing coordinated molecular changes, this approach enables precise ...

These catalysts are specialized proteins called enzymes. The reactions they facilitate involve the making and breaking of chemical bonds that convert one metabolite into another. This talk will focus ...

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. They are essential for life, as they play a crucial role in various biological processes, such as digestion, ...
