Many enzymes rely on iron porphyrin 'haem' centres to carry out important tasks in biology, in particular using their ability to bind small molecules such as O 2 and water.For example, the ...

That’s why she and her group teamed up with machine-learning-for-chemistry expert Gabe Gomes and his group at Carnegie Mellon ...

The structure of the trifunctional clavaminic acid synthase exhibits an emerging structural motif found among nonheme iron oxygen activating enzymes that provides the metal active site the ...

The ancient reactions an MIT chemist is investigating could provide the key to developing new methods that can extract vast amounts of carbon from our atmosphere.

These ancient processes, still active in modern cells, often involve iron-sulfur metalloproteins, which handle challenging ...

Now, researchers report iron oxides can drive the same conversion at comparable rates as enzymes. The study adds yet another missing piece to nature's mysterious phosphorus cycle that can be used ...

In addition, evidence suggests a possible link between h15-LOX-2 and the development of certain cancers. Moreover, h15-LOX-2 ...
