Sentences with phrase «with hydrogenases»

In fact, as the team reports, the setup increased the efficiency of H2 production 100-fold over previous attempts with hydrogenases.

Not exact matches

But with microbes, it is possible to intervene genetically in ways that encourage the activation of hydrogenase enzymes.

The researchers then spiked their solution with protons and electron - ferrying molecules, which were able to diffuse into the spheres, where the hydrogenase pairs readily converted them into H2.

When they put it all together and infected salmonella bacteria with the remade viruses, the new guide proteins helped assemble the spheres and inserted roughly 100 copies of the hydrogenase into the interior of each one.

The scientists came up with a surprisingly simple ligand structure resembling natural hydrogenase enzymes with a twist from typical phosphine catalysts.

In nature, hydrogen (H2) molecules store energy and release it as needed with the aid of hydrogenase enzymes.

Because the hydrogenases found in nature don't last as long as ones that are built out of tougher chemicals (think paper versus plastic), the researchers wanted to pull out the active portion of the biological hydrogenase and redesign it with a stable chemical backbone.

The program focuses on development of transition - metal complexes that are inspired by the natural photosynthetic enzymes such as nitrogenases, hydrogenases, and the oxygen - evolving complex of photosystem II with the goal of designing catalysts that are chemically stable, active, and highly selective for specific chemical targets.
