"We brought together those two functions, proximity and position, and kind of built our own self-assembling 'enzyme,' but ...

a catalyst has to overcome this spin barrier. In enzymes, this can be achieved either by orbital overlap with a suitable transition metal ion, or by electron transfer to form an enzyme-bound ...

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 ...

To overcome these issues, the research team developed a bio-catalyst named "KUBU-M12 ... "Korean scientists create enzyme that breaks down plastic quickly" was originally created and published ...

However, at high temperatures the rate decreases again because the enzyme becomes denatured and can no longer function as a biological catalyst. At low temperatures the enzymes and substrates have ...
