Recently published in Nature Communications, the study uses synthetic biology to reverse-engineer modern enzymes and rebuild their possible ancestors. Betül Kaçar, a professor of bacteriology, and ...

A bacterial enzyme enables reactions opens up alternatives to key industrial chemical processes, explain scientists in a new report. The research team of Prof. Dr. Oliver Einsle at the University of ...

Previously, it has been impossible to capture the high-resolution images of nitrogenase, the only enzyme capable of reducing nitrogen into ammonia, during catalytic action. Now, for the first time, ...

Oxygenases have long been thought to require a cofactor for catalysis. The structure of a vancomycin biosynthetic enzyme in complex with a substrate analog, and with molecular oxygen bound in its ...
