alcohol dehydration and other acid-catalysed processes. Sussman was less successful with ester hydrolysis, and attributes this to the poor contact attainable in the three-phase system ester ...

In the dipstick method, neutrophilic esterases catalyze the hydrolysis of esters to produce their respective alcohols and acids. The alcohols produced then react with a diazonium salt to produce a ...

Initial mixtures contained hydroxy acids ... linked together to form esters and thioesters. These intermediates then transformed into more stable amides, resisting hydrolysis during subsequent ...

They hydrolyze ANs by cleaving phosphoric acid ester groups. Depending on the subtype ... studied the key ectonucleotidase CD73 (ecto-5’-nucleotidase), which catalyzes the hydrolysis of AMP to produce ...

The precise order and orientation of amino acids within the active site enables enzymes to control ... The team chose to focus on serine hydrolase, a much-studied enzyme that hydrolyses esters via ...

Using computational tools and virtual screening, researchers at the Center for Redox Processes in Biomedicine (Redoxoma) have ...

For the first time, scientists have witnessed the very moment DNA begins to unravel, revealing a necessary molecular event ...

Recent work in The EMBO Journal describes a new hybrid post-translational modification of proteins, composed of a poly-ubiquitin chain that is attached to a target protein via a mono-ADP-ribose (MAR) ...

Gerty Theresa Cori (1896-1957) was a trailblazing biochemist whose work fundamentally reformed our understanding of how cellular energy is stored and ...

Altered gut microbiome profiles correlate with anxiety and depression in humans, and work in animal models has identified ...
