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 ...

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) ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new structure determination method using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy which shows how different parts of complex ...

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.
