The Post group has worked to understand the basis of the catalytic power of enzymes using information from crystallography, kinetics, and a description of conformational distributions from molecular ...

Enzymes are large biological molecules—usually proteins—that speed up chemical reactions. Molecules that speed up chemical ...

The scope of enzymology has expanded rapidly over the last century, from an early focus on the chemical and catalytic mechanisms of individual enzymes to more recent efforts to understand enzyme ...

This illustration depicts the process of enzyme catalysis. The enzyme (blue) binds to its substrate (red) to form an enzyme-substrate complex. The enzyme then catalyzes the conversion of the substrate ...

Reactions that can combine more than two molecular pieces in one go are a powerful way to build complexity quickly and save ...

Biochemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have discovered a new subclass of trifunctional enzymes in ...
