Scientists improved enzyme-based biosensors by modifying MOFs to enhance electron transfer and enzyme stability. Enzymes are ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have developed a new material that harnesses the power of enzymes more effectively.

Every enzyme has a place in which the molecule fits exactly. This is known as the active site. The active site of the catalase allows the hydrogen peroxide molecule to fit exactly. You could say ...

The modified material acts as a "wire," allowing efficient electron exchange between the enzyme and electrode. Furthermore, the design of the MOFs allows easy access to the buried active sites of ...

Each enzyme molecule has a special place called the active site where another molecule, called the substrate, fits. The substrate goes through a chemical reaction and changes into a new molecule ...

leading to an increase in enzyme activity. This means the active site loses its important shape and can no longer form enzyme-substrate complexes, leading to a decrease in enzyme activity.

Since enzymes are quite efficient biocatalysts active under mild conditions, they are expected to be applied to varieties of environmentally benign chemical processes realized in the next generation.

IIT Roorkee researchers use esterase enzyme to break down carcinogenic plasticizers, paving the way for a plastic-free future.
