Enzyme Study May Lead to Applications in Novel Drug Design and the Creation of Artificial Enzymes - Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News

An important, new point raised by this study is not how an energetically favorable state that drives the enzymatic reaction to occur is achieved, but when this takes place.

Enzymes accelerate reactions by helping to lower the activation energy needed to start them. But how enzymes achieve this has been the subject of intense debate. A research team from Texas and China… [+4374 chars]
