Researchers have made a significant advance toward the goal of using bacteria—rather than fossil fuels—to produce ethylene, a ...

Enzyme mechanisms are the chemical transformations, and the steps within them, generated by enzymatic action on substrates. The mechanism of enzyme catalysis is similar in principle to other types of ...

Hydrolases are enzymes that catalyze the cleavage of a covalent bond using water. Types of hydrolase include esterases, such as phosphatases, that act on ester bonds, and proteases or peptidases that ...
