Milder conditions, less energy consumption and waste The weak spot of enzyme biocatalysis is the low stability of some enzymes. "Since the enzyme often has to be replaced in such cases -- which is expensive -- it is extremely important to increase…

Plasmas can provide the co-substrate needed for biocatalysis of valuable substances, but are also harmful to enzymes. By attaching enzymes to small beads the enzymes are protected and remain active up to 44 times longer. Model enzyme from an edible fungus…
Japanese imaging and electronics company Ricoh has announced plans to begin producing perovskite solar cells in Japan by 2030. The factory will be located at Ricoh Industry Co., Ltd.’s Tohoku site in Shibata, Miyagi prefecture, northern Japan, and will use…
A newly synthesized bis-coumarinyl methane derivative, 14e, inhibits tyrosinase more potently than kojic acid in laboratory and computational studies. Chemists have synthesized a series of bis-coumarinyl methane derivatives and identified one member of the series as a notably potent inhibitor of…
A team of researchers has uncovered how subtle structural changes in terpene synthases can dramatically improve the biosynthesis of miltiradiene, a critical intermediate in the production of pharmacologically valuable compounds such as tanshinone IIA, triptolide, and carnosic acid. Boosting Production…
A new in vitro study reports that aqueous and ethanol leaf extracts of Jatropha curcas moderately inhibit the drug-metabolizing enzymes CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 in rat liver microsomes.
Whenever light interacts with matter, light appears to slow down. This is not a new observation and standard wave mechanics can describe most of these daily phenomena. For example, when light is incident on an interface, the standard wave equation…
