Did you ever take a swig of aspartame-sweetened diet soda and have it taste nasty? Sour, metallic, and vile, but not sweet.

New research uses AI to engineer enzymes with intricate active sites, expanding the possibilities for synthetic biocatalysts.

which subsequently oxidized to yield ethylboronic acid. Boronic esters or boronate esters are formed through the reaction between a boronic acid and alcohols, leading to a compound that retains the ...

THE establishment of a new truth invariably evokes a number of new fallacies; the brighter the light that a new theory sheds on its proper field, the darker, and the more distorting, the shadows ...

Protein interactions play a crucial role in regulating cellular mechanisms, highlighting the need for effective methods to control these processes. In this regard, chemical inducers of proximity (CIPs ...

Smart citations by scite.ai include citation statements extracted from the full text of the citing article. The number of the statements may be higher than the number of citations provided by ACS ...

Chlorogenic acid (CGA), also known as coffee tannic acid and 3-caffeoylquinic ... which acts as a diffusion barrier to enzymes and water, thereby delaying hydrolysis. In summary, lotus seeds treated ...

Surfactants, especially non-ionic surfactants, play an important role in the preparation of nanocarriers and can also promote the enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulose. A broad overview of the ...

Given that proteins display large ensembles of conformations, unique transition states would pose a huge entropic bottleneck for enzyme catalysis. To shed light on this question, we studied the nature ...

Migratory locusts display striking phenotypical plasticity. Gregarious locusts at high density can migrate long distances and cause huge economic losses of crops. By contrast, solitary locusts at low ...
