Some such functions include helping animals digest more nutrients or improving the flavor or capabilities of food. For instance, enzymes are used to tenderize meat, to increase the shelf life of ...

Nanocrystals (left) capture light (hv) and then transfer electrons (e-) to nitrogenase enzymes (upper right) to convert dinitrogen (N2) to ammonia (NH3). A sacrificial reaction (bottom right) ...

Enzymes help digest food, clean laundry, make perfumes, and build medicines. They also break down toxins in the environment. Because of their wide use, scientists have worked for years to create ...

Taking inspiration from enzymes, chemists have developed a catalyst to simplify the synthesis of ethers, key functional components of many drugs, foods, personal care items and other consumer goods.

It is a truth universally acknowledged in chemical synthesis that a molecule in posession of multiple stereocenters must be difficult to make. But the combined abilities of biochemistry and radical ...

A new study led by Stephen Withers from the University of British Columbia introduces a technique for engineering much more ...
