Acceleration of enzymatic catalysis by active hydrodynamic fluctuations
Cells are teeming with biochemical nano-machines whose vigorous activity generates strong hydrodynamic fluctuations. The authors revamp transition-state theory to account for the effect of this active noise and find that it may significantly accelerate ...

Lysosomes—that is, acidic organelles known for degradation/recycling—move through the cytoplasm alternating between bursts of active transport and short, diffusive motions or even pauses. While their mobility is essential for lysosomes’ fusogenic and non-
