Despite tremendous progress in understanding and engineering enzymes, knowledge of how enzyme structures and their dynamics induce observed catalytic properties is incomplete, and capabilities to engineer enzymes fall far short of industrial needs. H...
Carboxylic acids have been efficiently used to activate HO to form even more potent oxidant-peroxy acids through enzyme-catalyzed processes. By employing acetic acid as the activator, herein we report for the first time that cofactor-free DNA display...
Knowing the catalytic turnover numbers of enzymes is essential for understanding the growth rate, proteome composition, and physiology of organisms, but experimental data on enzyme turnover numbers is sparse and noisy. Here, we demonstrate that machi...
Recently enzymatic catalysts have replaced organic and organometallic catalysts in the synthesis of bio-resorbable polymers. Enzymatic polymerization is considered as an alternative to conventional polymerization as they are less toxic, environmental...

Drug metabolism is a complex procedure in the human body, including a series of enzymatically catalyzed reactions. However, it is costly and time consuming to investigate drug metabolism experimentally; computational methods are hence developed to pr...
d-Tartaric acid has wide range of application in the pharmaceutical industry and scarcely exists in nature. In this study, cis-epoxysuccinate hydrolase (CESH)-containing Escherichia coli was used to perform whole-cell bioconversion of cis-epoxysuccin...

Soft and deformable liquid metals (LMs) are building components in various systems related to uncertain and dynamic task environments. Herein we describe the development of a biomolecule-triggered external-manipulation method involving LM conjugates ...
To understand the mechanism for assembly of Lys-linked polyubiquitin degradation signals, we previously demonstrated that the E6AP/UBE3A ligase harbors two functionally distinct E2∼ubiquitin-binding sites: a high-affinity Site 1 required for E6AP Cys...
Catalytic promiscuity in enzymes refers to their ability to catalyze multiple chemically distinct reactions in addition to their native activity. The increasing discovery of additional enzymes exhibiting catalytic promiscuity has underscored the sign...

The prenylation of aromatic compounds significantly enhances their metabolic stability and bioactivity. Prenyltransferases, as essential biocatalysts, facilitate the regioselective transfer of prenyl groups from donors to aromatic substrates. This re...
