Enzyme Behavior Emulated By Synthetic Molecules For The First Time
Jul 4th 2008Drug InformationBiology
When chemists want to produce a lot of a substance — such as a newly designed drug — they often turn to catalysts, molecules that speed chemical reactions. Many jobs require highly specialized catalysts, and finding one in just the right shape to connect with certain molecules can be difficult. Natural catalysts, such as enzymes in the human body that help us digest food, get around this problem by shape-shifting to suit the task at hand.
