Gábor Laurenczy
Gábor Laurenczy (born 1954) is a Hungarian chemist and academic. He currently heads the Group of Catalysis for Energy and Environment of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. Life Laurenczy was born in 1954, in Békéscsaba, Hungary. He graduated with honors in 1978 from Lajos Kossuth University with a degree in chemistry. He started his academic career in the Department of Inorganic & Analytical Chemistry of Kossuth University in 1978. In 1981 he obtained a Ph.D. in inorganic chemistry with honours, and in 1984 he became an assistant professor. By 1985 he transferred to Lausanne, Switzerland and started working for the Department of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry, University of Lausanne. He was, in 1986 an assistant; from 1987, a first assistant; from 1991, a maître assistant; and, since 1998, a maître d'enseignement et de recherche, teaching general, inorganic and analytical chemistry, and instrumental analysis. In 1991, he obtained his habilitation a ...

Small Molecule
Within the fields of molecular biology and pharmacology, a small molecule or micromolecule is a low molecular weight (≤ 1000 daltons) organic compound that may regulate a biological process, with a size on the order of 1 nm. Many drugs are small molecules; the terms are equivalent in the literature. Larger structures such as nucleic acids and proteins, and many polysaccharides are not small molecules, although their constituent monomers (ribo- or deoxyribonucleotides, amino acids, and monosaccharides, respectively) are often considered small molecules. Small molecules may be used as research tools to probe biological function as well as leads in the development of new therapeutic agents. Some can inhibit a specific function of a protein or disrupt protein–protein interactions. Pharmacology usually restricts the term "small molecule" to molecules that bind specific biological macromolecules and act as an effector, altering the activity or function of the target. Small ...

Catalytic Activation
Catalysis () is the process of increasing the rate of a chemical reaction by adding a substance known as a catalyst (). Catalysts are not consumed in the reaction and remain unchanged after it. If the reaction is rapid and the catalyst recycles quickly, very small amounts of catalyst often suffice; mixing, surface area, and temperature are important factors in reaction rate. Catalysts generally react with one or more reactants to form intermediates that subsequently give the final reaction product, in the process of regenerating the catalyst. Catalysis may be classified as either homogeneous, whose components are dispersed in the same phase (usually gaseous or liquid) as the reactant, or heterogeneous, whose components are not in the same phase. Enzymes and other biocatalysts are often considered as a third category. Catalysis is ubiquitous in chemical industry The chemical industry comprises the companies that produce industrial chemicals. Central to the modern world ...
