The synchronous movement of protons and electrons orchestrated by enzymes gives rise to highly efficient catalytic processes in nature, such as photosynthesis. Now, researchers have choreographed ...

Redox reactions form the basis of many fundamental processes of life. Without them, neither cellular respiration nor photosynthesis could take place. Redox reactions also play a crucial role in ...

Chemists reveal method for differentiating PCET mechanisms – a key step for steering fundamental energy conversion and redox catalysis processes. Redox reactions form the basis of many fundamental ...

In 2011, when Tobias Ritter reported a ­reagent—now known as PhenoFluor—that could swap the hydroxyl group on a phenol for a fluoride, he was cautiously optimistic that the work might someday be used ...

It's natural for chemists to wonder whether the ingenious reactions that have been invented in the laboratory over the past century were actually harnessed millions of years ago by enzymes, nature's ...
