Plagiarizing proteins: enhancing efficiency in asymmetric hydrogen-bonding catalysis through positive cooperativity.

A new twist for a fold: Conformationally well-defined thiourea catalysts, like that shown, stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonds demonstrate cooperative ligand-receptor binding. This conformation leads to significantly enhanced catalytic efficiency, resulting in higher turnover rates and lower...
