Enzyme structure and function are routinely studied by altering the DNA that encodes the enzyme, thus replacing specific amino-acid residues in the enzyme with other residues. Unfortunately, the ...

The ability to simultaneously operate reaction networks in one pot is highly attractive as large modifications of molecular structure or perfect optical purity can be achieved in one processing step, ...

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 ...

A startup company called Zymosense is developing and marketing nanosensors invented in Nigel Reuel's Iowa State lab. The new tools will help industries track and improve the enzymes used in ...
