The idea of a single molecular mechanism with a single

The idea of a single molecular mechanism with a single enzyme has so far been a bit of a novelty. But in the meantime, a lot of scientists are working to find ways of building new ones. The new enzyme is the protein N-nitro-pyridocarboxylic acid (N-nitroglycerin) that's found everywhere in nature and has been used in the past to make proteins and the enzymes it catalyzes. Scientists have long tried to find ways to make these proteins more versatile and more versatile. In 2007 researchers at Harvard University found that one of the most versatile ways to do this was to synthesize N-nitro-nitro acid (NN-NIC) as a "delta" molecule, which is a chemical property that can be changed to perform various roles, from a synthesis reaction to a direct catalytic reaction. "It's a great opportunity to make different products in different ways," says Alan Blanchard, an evolutionary biologist at Rice University in Houston, Texas, and lead author on the work.

The NN-nitro-nitro-pyridocarboxylic acid (NN-NIC) catalyzes the formation of a binding protein called H 2 O 2 at high temperature. "If you can make a molecule with N-nitro-nitro acid, you can make new compounds," says Jim Stokes, a bioinformatician at the University of California-Santa Barbara in Pasadena. "If you can make a molecule with N-nitro-nitro acid, you can add new compounds, and there is no need to create new molecules with them."

A new version of N-nitro-nitro-pyridocarboxylic acid (N-NIC) is being developed by the University of Pennsylvania, now known as Penn State. The team is developing an enzyme called a C-terminal membrane protein, which is a more basic, less versatile and less costly way of synthesizing N-nitro-nitro-pyridocarboxylic acid. Using this molecule in a way that allows it to bind to the molecules that make up the molecule, researchers can use it for a wide variety of uses.

One of the best ways to make the C-terminal membrane protein work for us is to change the molecule before it reaches the enzyme. The new enzyme that Stokes developed has an amino acid that is
