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 ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Acid forest soils in the Bohemian Forest in Central Europe are biogeochemically imbalanced in organic C, N and P processing. We hypothesized ...

Previous attempts at building a chemical computer have been too simple, too rigid or too hard to scale, but an approach based ...

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, ...

Chemists have been practicing organic chemistry for hundreds of years; microbes have been at it even longer. Microbial and other enzymes are superbly enantio-, chemo-, and regioselective across a ...

The ability to respond to changing surroundings was once considered exclusive to complex living organisms. Then came ...

Researchers have observed enzymes breaking down cellulose to aid the production of biofuels. Biofuels obtained from biomass are becoming increasingly important. Apart from biomethane, however, they ...

The right combination of fruit-based enzymes, low temperatures and a slow cooking process can allow ready meal manufacturers to tap into the trend for slow-cooked meats and add value to cheaper cuts, ...

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 ...
