Researchers have captured real-time "molecular movies" showing how an enzyme changes shape during catalysis. The study was published in Nature Communications. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...

The snapshots reveal key reactions steps. At 0 ms, water molecules occupy the substrate-binding site. At 50 ms, a substrate-cofactor intermediate forms. At 100 ms, the product is released, and the ...

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 ...
