Redox enzymes are proteins that catalyze oxidation-reduction reactions, which involve the transfer of electrons between ...

To work well, redox enzymes must be fixed on solid surfaces to stay stable and reused. The most stable method is to bind them tightly to electrodes. However, this can sometimes make the enzymes ...

Scientists improved enzyme-based biosensors by modifying MOFs to enhance electron transfer and enzyme stability. Enzymes are ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have developed a new material that harnesses the power of enzymes more effectively.

For example, Redox Biochemistry provides a mechanistic description of a recently discovered enzyme, sulfiredoxin, which functions to reduce cysteine residues that have been overoxidized to ...

Additionally, the interactions between cytochrome P450 enzymes and their redox partners, such as cytochrome b5, have been explored. These interactions are vital for the enzymatic activity of P450 ...

Enzymes play a crucial role in the chemical ... In general, MOFs are inherently redox-inactive and exhibit poor electrical conductivity; therefore, the researchers modified the MOF structure ...

Many biological processes are regulated by redox chemistry mediated by oxidases, redox enzymes, and metabolic states, which are often dysregulated in diseases, including cancer and heart diseases. We ...
