Many enzymes require cofactors such as nicotinamide adenosine dinucleotide (NAD +) or nicotinamide adenosine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP +) to shuttle electrons between reactions. Artificial redox ...

A peptide bridge is designed to construct a fusion enzyme with electrostatic cofactor channeling, reducing NADPH input by two orders of magnitude or decreasing reaction time threefold with the same ...

The reactions of enzymes and cofactors with gaseous molecules such as dioxygen (O₂) are challenging to study and remain among the most contentious subjects in biochemistry. To date, it is largely ...

Under certain conditions, some algae are able to produce hydrogen -- a much sought-after green energy source. Its production takes place in the unique catalytic center of the unicellular algae and is ...

Osaka, Japan - Investigators from the Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research at Osaka University, together with Hiroshima Institute of Technology, have announced the discovery of a new ...

A new artificial intelligence-powered tool can help researchers determine how well an enzyme fits with a desired target, helping them find the best enzyme and substrate combination for applications ...

Although many organisms capture and respond to sunlight, enzymes - proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions - are rarely driven by light. A new study captures the full cycle of complex structural ...
