What are enzymes and how they operate? Enzymes are the molecules in our bodies that facilitate reactions. They perform this function at their active site, which is like their ‘mouth’.

Every enzyme has a place in which the molecule fits exactly. This is known as the active site. The active site of the catalase allows the hydrogen peroxide molecule to fit exactly. You could say ...

Scientists improved enzyme-based biosensors by modifying MOFs to enhance electron transfer and enzyme stability. Enzymes are ...

leading to an increase in enzyme activity. This means the active site loses its important shape and can no longer form enzyme-substrate complexes, leading to a decrease in enzyme activity.

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have developed a new material that harnesses the power of enzymes more effectively.

Enzymes in our bodies are catalysts that speed up reactions by helping to lower the activation energy needed to start a reaction. Each enzyme molecule has a special place called the active site where ...

This study presents a novel approach using metal-organic frameworks to enhance enzyme-electrode interactions, advancing ...

Since enzymes are quite efficient biocatalysts active under mild conditions, they are expected to be applied to varieties of environmentally benign chemical processes realized in the next generation.

They proposed a Cu(II)-bound OCR as a key intermediate for the hydrogen atom abstraction (HAA), which behaves like an active site of a copper-based enzyme both structurally and functionally.

IIT Roorkee researchers use esterase enzyme to break down carcinogenic plasticizers, paving the way for a plastic-free future.
