The ability of one enzyme to catalyse multiple, mechanistically distinct transformations likely
played a crucial role in organisms' abilities to adapt to changing external stimuli in the past …

High selectivity and exquisite control over the outcome of reactions entice chemists to use
biocatalysts in organic synthesis. However, many useful reactions are not accessible …

Atrazine is a widely-applied herbicide used primarily to control weeds, which can persist in
the ecosystem and exert potential toxicity to phytoplankton in the aquatic environment. In this …

Thousands of new metabolic and regulatory enzymes have evolved by gene duplication and
divergence since the dawn of life. New enzyme activities often originate from promiscuous …

Recent advances in cell-free synthetic biology have spurred the development of in vitro
molecular diagnostics that serve as effective alternatives to whole-cell biosensors. However …

The extensive use and environmental persistence of atrazine has resulted in its ubiquitous
occurrence in water resources. Some reports have described atrazine bioaccumulation and …

All the disciplines of science, especially biotechnology, have given continuous attention to
the area of enzyme immobilization. However, the structural support made by material …

Since their first introduction in the mid 1950s, man-made s-triazine herbicides such as
atrazine have extensively been used in agriculture to control broadleaf weed growth in …

Dissipation kinetics of atrazine and trifluralin in a clay loam soil was investigated in a
laboratory incubation experiment under different temperature and moisture conditions. The …

Pesticides may cause a potential risk to human health when applied in excess to control
pests, diseases, and weeds in crop fields. In the current study, conducted in the Aegean …
