He works for Nebula Chemical Company, researching new strains of organic catalysts, and he'll be there another six months or more.

The enzymes in the juiced vegetables acting as organic catalysts which increase the metabolism and absorption of nutrients.

In general, despite the relative ease of electronic tuning with organic catalysts, chemists have not yet reached a useful understanding of these modifications.

The phosphonates (and other phosphorus esters) can also be synthesized via transesterification reaction catalyzed by organic catalysts.

But carbohydrates are produced not by genes, but by enzymes - proteins that act as organic catalysts and are themselves produced by genes.

The amino acids in proteins are used in the body to build muscles and organs, transport molecules (hemoglobin), antibodies, and the organic catalysts known as enzymes.

"We are on the way to a new generation of organic catalysts," said Dr. Francois Diederich, a colleague of Dr. Cram at the University of California at Los Angeles.

They compose much of the actual substance of the body (muscles, tendons, the lens of the eye, for example), and are the organic catalysts responsible for the chemical reactions occurring in the body, as described in Chapter 6.

Typically, organic catalysts require a higher loading (amount of catalyst per unit amount of reactant, expressed in mol% amount of substance) than transition metal(-ion)-based catalysts, but these catalysts are usually commercially available in bulk, helping to reduce costs.

In organic chemistry, the term Organocatalysis (a concatenation of the terms "organic" and "catalyst") refers to a form of catalysis, whereby the rate of a chemical reaction is increased by an organic catalyst referred to as an "organocatalyst" consisting of carbon, hydrogen, sulfur and other nonmetal elements found in organic compounds.
