Scientists unlock mystery in important photosynthesis step
24-Feb-2010
An international team of scientists, including two from Arizona State University, have taken a significant step closer to unlocking the secrets of photosynthesis, and possibly to cleaner fuels. Plants and algae, as well as cyanobacteria, use photosynthesis to produce oxygen and "fuels," the ...
Enzyme design with remote effects
Chemists in Mülheim devise a new way of optimising enzymes for industrial applications
17-Feb-2010
Engineers are unlikely to tinker with the cooling system if they want to increase the size of an engine. Yet chemists at the Max Planck Institute for Coal Research have adopted an approach similar to this in their efforts to optimise an enzyme for practical applications. They substituted two ...
Energy-saving powder
13-Nov-2009
It is currently estimated that natural gas resources will be exhausted in 130 years; however, those reserves where extraction is cost-effective will only flow for another 60 years or so. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Coal Research and at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and ...
Total synthesis of a phosphatase inhibitor reveals an unexpected selectivity profile: A new basis for drugs?
07-Nov-2003
A large number of different phosphatases, enzymes that split phosphate groups off proteins, play a key role in the regulation of cellular processes. Interest in substances that selectively inhibit specific phosphatases is thus correspondingly high. German researchers were recently surprised ...
