The research extends the functional capabilities of nanozymes, shifting the focus from small molecule substrates to complex ...

The balanced equation for this reaction is shown. Jon describes the role of an enzyme’s active site. You could ask students to place a small amount of bread under their tongue for a few minutes.

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 ...

Enzymes are able to bind to their substrate because they have an active site. An induced fit occurs where the active site of the enzyme is changed slightly to better fit the substrate after the ...

Instead of the enzyme mechanism described in biochemistry text-books, hen lysozyme hydrolysis was postulated to occur by a ring-opening mechanism based on substrate interactions defined by the active ...

(Image: National Human Genome Research Institute) Enzymes are highly specific to their substrates, the molecules upon which they act. The active site of an enzyme has a unique three-dimensional ...

Enzyme mechanisms are the chemical transformations ... suggest that HEPN is a metal-dependent RNase and identify its active site residues and regulatory mechanism. Single molecule nanopore ...
