It is well known in physics and chemistry that equal charges repel each other, while opposite charges attract. It was long assumed that this principle also applies when enzymes – the biological ...

WASHINGTON, D.C., May 10, 2016 - Enzymes play a crucial role in most biological processes--controlling energy transduction, as well as the transcription and translation of genetic information and ...

Enzymology is the study of enzymes and enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Enzymes are biological catalysts that accelerate the rate of biological reactions. They can also perform multiple reactions ...

The enzyme accelerates this reaction by 10 17 times, simply by positioning negative and positive charges in the active centre. Since the substrate contains a negatively charged group that is split off ...
