As a result of the adaptation of life to an aerobic environment, nature has evolved a panoply
of metalloproteins for oxidative metabolism and protection against reactive oxygen species …

At the core of many important energy conversion processes in chemistry and biology are
oxidation-reduction reactions in which both electrons and protons are transferred. An …

The metal (ion)-free catalysis of organic reactions is a contemporary challenge that is just
being taken up by chemists. Hence, this field is in its infancy and is briefly reviewed here …

Over time, organisms have evolved strategies to cope with the abundance of dioxygen on
Earth. Oxygen-utilizing enzymes tightly control the reactions involving O2 mostly by …

Computational enzymology is a rapidly maturing field that is increasingly integral to
understanding mechanisms of enzyme-catalyzed reactions and their practical applications …

Gold nanoclusters (ϕ= 1.3 nm) stabilized by poly (N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone)(Au: PVP NCs)
readily oxidize benzylic alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes and/or carboxylic acids …

▪ Abstract Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactions involve the concerted transfer
of an electron and a proton. Such reactions play an important role in many areas of …

Through incremental change, Nature reworks and repurposes its functional machinery. In
this way, proteins that photochemically repair DNA by moving protons and electrons have a …

Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) is ubiquitous throughout chemistry and biology.
This Perspective discusses recent advances and current challenges in the field of PCET …

Enzymes are nanometer-sized molecules with three-dimensional structures created by the
folding and self-assembly of polymeric chain-like components through supramolecular …
