They are involved, for example, in catalyzing chemical reactions, transferring of electrons, sensing changing environmental conditions and synthesizing other complex metal cofactors. The hydrogen ...

Even if the first one-electron transfer to dioxygen (in contrast to its overall reduction to water) is thermodynamically unfavorable, reduced flavin and pterin cofactors, as well as some metal ...

using either metal cofactors or no cofactor at all. Current efforts are towards deriving DNAzymes/ribozymes for photochemical reactions and for the hydrolytic cleavage of DNA. We have also recently ...
