For several decades scientists have known that small groups of atoms, known as nanoparticles often behave quite differently than large pieces of exactly the same substance. Gold nanoparticles, for example, can act as catalysts for such chemical reactions, which do not impact large pieces of gold, or surface covered with …

In the future it will be possible to create enzymes to produce artificial cells. A team of chemists under the direction Arieh warshel (Arieh Warshel of the University of southern California have developed a method to predict catalytic activity of various enzymes. In the future it will allow to create …
