Enzymes are the molecular machines that power life; they build and break down molecules, copy DNA, digest food, and drive ...

Tumors can grow quickly only when they’re well fed, so doctors seek ways to starve the malignancies. Realizing that cancer cells consume more methionine than healthy cells do, researchers engineered a ...

Researchers demonstrate the implementation of a remote laboratory activity to teach students about enzyme kinetics. The COVID-19 pandemic forced teachers across the globe to embrace remote learning.

Just because an enzyme has an active site doesn’t mean the rest of the enzyme should be disregarded, as though it were so much dead weight. It influences enzyme function, if only by keeping the enzyme ...

A seemingly subtle swap of metals—substituting a zinc ion with a cobalt ion—and a mutation ramps up the overall electric field strength at the active site of an enzyme, Stanford scientists find. The ...

Whether laundry detergents, mascara, or Christmas chocolate - many everyday products contain fatty acids from palm oil or coconut oil. However, the ...

(Nanowerk News) By combining artificial intelligence with automated robotics and synthetic biology, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have dramatically improved performance of ...

The results revealed a clear sequence. Enzymes predating cannabis showed no ability to process CBGA. The first enzyme unique ...

Scientists accidentally created an enzyme that has an appetite for … plastic, the pervasive kind that's used to make bottles for water and soda, and which can normally take hundreds of years to ...

BENGALURU: Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have discovered enzymes that can successfully degrade toxic chemicals in industrial wastewater in the presence of sunlight. This ...
