Researchers at University Hospitals and Case Western Reserve University have discovered an enzyme that appears to play a key ...

Scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say results of a new National Institutes of Health-funded study are advancing efforts to ...

Obesity is a global epidemic and a major cause of morbidity and mortality because it increases the risk for comorbidities, ...

Life has evolved over billions of years, adapting to the changing environment. Similarly, enzymes—proteins that speed up biochemical reactions (catalysis) in cells—have adapted to the habitats of ...

Enzymes are proteins that guide (catalyze) very specific chemical reactions. They play indispensable roles in all life forms. Some enzymes carry out the day-to-day business of biology like digesting ...

Scientists have developed a novel approach to modifying enzymes to improve functionality. They designed a new algorithm to make multiple changes to an enzyme sequence at once as compared to the ...

Researchers have captured real-time "molecular movies" showing how an enzyme changes shape during catalysis. The study was ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in ...

Landfills are overflowing with plastic trash. Serial inventor Jonathan Rothberg’s Protein Evolution found a solution: using AI to create enzymes that can recycle old polyester textiles into a material ...
