Development Of Enzyme Mimics Funded By $5 Million Grant

Mother Nature regulates critical cellular activities in plants and animals by using enzymes, catalysts that bring about specific biochemical reactions. Looking to learn from nature, a team of Northwestern University chemists has received a $5 million grant from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research to study and develop bioinspired supramolecular enzyme mimics for military and civilian applications.The grant is part of the U.S.
