an induced fit basis for substrate specificity of enzymes was rationalized from simple physical principles of enzyme kinetics. Of particular note is the proposal that ‘entropic guidance’ contributes ...

Enzymes, the core catalysts in life, drive critical biological processes ranging from metabolic regulation to energy ...

Life has evolved over billions of years, adapting to the changing environment. Similarly, enzymes—proteins that speed up ...

Compared with traditional chemical synthesis, enzyme catalysis is more environmentally friendly and efficient. It has been widely used in the industrial production of functional molecules such as ...

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. They are essential for life, as they play a crucial role in various biological processes, such as digestion, ...

Life is a chemical system. From a very simplified viewpoint, many disease states result from changes in the activity levels of catalysts (= enzymes), i.e., they are less active or more active than ...

The Applied Catalysis Group is one of the many RSC Interest Groups and exists to bring together and cover the interests of all members who have a professional interest in applied catalysis. To promote ...

Extant enzymes are prodigious catalysts, accelerating chemical reactions by as much as 25 orders of magnitude. However, it is safe to say that no enzyme is perfect in the sense of catalyzing only a ...
