Taking inspiration from enzymes, chemists have developed a catalyst to simplify the synthesis of ethers, key functional components of many drugs, foods, personal care items and other consumer goods.

Researchers have captured real-time "molecular movies" showing how an enzyme changes shape during catalysis. The study was ...

image: An one-pot chemoenzymatic cascade reaction to synthesize chiral alcohol was realized by using the highly active and selective enzyme-metal-single-atom hybrid as the catalyst. The ...

In a groundbreaking study, researchers have captured real-time "molecular movies" showing how an enzyme changes shape during catalysis. Using an ...

The US catalyst firm Ecovyst will work with the Dutch biocatalysis specialist ChiralVision to advance enzyme mobilization technologies. The firms say they will combine Ecovyst’s strength in silicas ...

(Nanowerk News) Reporting in Science ("De novo design of porphyrin-containing proteins as efficient and stereoselective catalysts"), researchers at UC Santa Barbara, UCSF and the University of ...

AMES, Iowa – Yan Zhao gestured toward the trees outside his campus window on a rainy afternoon. The professor of chemistry at Iowa State University is developing new synthetic catalysts to break down ...

To enable early diagnosis of acute illnesses and effective management of chronic conditions, point-of-care testing (POCT) technology—diagnostics conducted near the patient—is drawing global attention.

A new enzyme-inspired, small-molecule catalyst developed at the University of Illinois holds alcohols and alkenes in just the right proximity and position to join into ethers, key functional ...
