Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. They are essential for life, as they play a crucial role in various biological processes, such as digestion, ...

A U.K. startup, originating from founder Jacob Nathan's high school science project on using enzymes to break down plastic ...

Certain glycans—sugar-like compounds with carbohydrate chains—containing galactose, may exhibit potential prebiotic ...

Enzymes catalyze nearly all of the chemical reactions that occur in biological systems. Enzymes are generally proteins but also include catalytic DNA and catalytic RNA. As effective biological ...

we've created a hybrid nanoreactor that combines the broad light absorption and exciton generation efficiency of synthetic materials with the catalytic power of biological enzymes. This synergy ...

Gilead Sciences announced a significant milestone: the U.S. FDA accepted their New Drug Applications (NDAs) for lenacapavir ...

Now, researchers have found that certain aerobic bacteria only need one enzyme to get a similar job done. Bradley Moore and his team at the University of San Diego have discovered a diiron oxidase ...

Annotations of enzyme function provide critical starting points for generating and testing biological hypotheses, but the quality of functional annotations is hindered by uncertain assignments for ...

Understanding the biological processes of these bacteria could pave the way for new technologies that mimic their efficiency. The enzyme responsible, named Huc, was found to transform hydrogen gas ...

Air contaminants fall into many categories across different industrial sectors, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), aerosols, particulate matter and ultra-fine (UF) particles, as well as ...

Crafting enzymes is more difficult than designing other proteins because it requires not just predicting the structure of a single protein conformation, but of changes in conformations as enzymes ...

By studying the cells that make up the wall of lymphatic vessels, a team has made an unexpected discovery: an enzyme they express ... nutritional and respiratory biological exchanges.
