For the first time, researchers have successfully used computational simulations to modify an enzyme’s structure to increase the optimum temperature of a reaction. Researchers at Uppsala University ...

Enzymes originally evolved in high-temperature environments and later adapted to lower temperatures as Earth cooled. Scientists discovered that a key shift in enzyme function occurred over ...

Enzymes from cold-loving organisms that live at low temperatures, close to the freezing point of water, display highly distinctive properties. In a new study published in Nature Communications, ...

Biological reactions are very sensitive to changes in environmental factors. For this reason, bioreactors must have excellent temperature control and heat exchange capabilities. PolyScience are market ...

The enzyme accelerates this reaction by 10 17 times, simply by positioning negative and positive charges in the active centre. Since the substrate contains a negatively charged group that is split off ...

This accurate thermosensation relies on the precise maintenance of thermal receptor functions; however, their activation and regulatory mechanisms have remained unclear. In a new study, researchers ...

Enzymes evolved to efficiently operate in low-temperature environments via key substitutions of amino acids in their active site, which lowers the activation energy of catalytic reactions. Life has ...
