A new study shows that enzyme activity depends on electrostatic properties, as opposed to mechanical ones. This opens up new possibilities for the use of the enzymes in fields such as biomedicine for designing new medicines, or in biotechnology for the development of artificial enzymes for industrial processes that are more environmentally friendly.
