Reactions in Artificial Enzymatic Nanopocket
17 Jan 2025 under Highlights
Enzymes are essential for various chemical reactions that sustain life. Their remarkable efficiency stems from finely-tuned active sites, which can control the reaction environment, irrespective of the reaction complexity. Recent studies show that an inherent electric field present within the active site is pivotal in manipulating the energy landscape of chemical reactions. This electric field […]
Not just Noise: Probing Material Interfaces using Flicker Noise in Signals
07 Jun 2024 under Highlights
Tracking changes at molecular interfaces is critical for designing new synthesis techniques and material systems. The nature of bonding at interfaces decides how the molecule reacts as well as the nature of the product formed from such reactions. One complex yet interesting interface that has long been explored in theory and experiments is the gold-thiol […]
