Binding Energy and Enzymatic Catalysis
For nearly 100 years, the extraordinary catalytic power of enzymes has fascinated biochemists (1). In a recent article in this Journal, Splittgerber (2) analyzed several ofthe factors by which enzymes are thought to effect catalysis, including proximity and orientation effects, substrate strain, acidbase catalysis, and nucleophilic catalysis. Here we will discuss the fundamental role that the f...
متن کاملRelation between enzymic catalysis and energy coupling.
The principles that underlie enzyme catalysis also apply to energy coupling processes. A comparison is made between a kinase system that mediates the phosphorylation of glucose by ATP (hexokinase), as the prototype for enzymic catalysis, and the mitochondrial electron-transfer complexes, as the prototypes for energy coupling systems. Induced polarization of chemical bonds and charge separation ...
متن کاملNanoscale advances in catalysis and energy applications.
In this perspective, we present an overview of nanoscience applications in catalysis, energy conversion, and energy conservation technologies. We discuss how novel physical and chemical properties of nanomaterials can be applied and engineered to meet the advanced material requirements in the new generation of chemical and energy conversion devices. We highlight some of the latest advances in t...
متن کاملBinding of a high-energy substrate conformer in antibody catalysis.
Enzymes can substantially increase the probability of a reaction by exploiting binding energy to preorganize their substrates into reactive conformations. Similar effects are likely to be important in a wide variety of designed catalysts, including catalytic antibodies. Transferred nuclear Overhauser effects have been used here to investigate how an antibody possessing chorismate mutase activit...
متن کاملLandfill gas to Energy research in the Combustion and Catalysis
Landfill Gas to Energy This research investigates the utilization of landfill gas, an abundant waste product, by reforming it to syngas that can be converted to liquid fuels using Fischer Tropsch or to a H2 rich stream using water-gas shift. 65% of the 413 million tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) generated per year in the United States is landfilled, and 67% of the landfilled MSW is composed...
