Enzymes are involved in virtually every biological process that occurs throughout the body. This includes but is not limited to the following essential roles: ...

"In a way, AP1 and AP2 have been like 'zombie' enzymes," said Karki, a doctoral cancer biology student in Cunningham's lab.

Prof. Hening Lin brings expertise in enzymes to UChicago, bridging scientists, engineers and doctors to translate research to ...

Leiden researchers have discovered an enzyme that helps bacteria feed on everyday plastics. This common enzyme could play a ...

Working in organoid models, researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have developed a new tool to ...

The Michaelis-Menten equation is used to describe the dynamics of an enzymatic reaction, in which an enzyme interacts with a substrate to generate some product before the enzyme is released. Cells are ...

As venomous animals, spiders use their chemical arsenal for prey capture or defense. Small neurotoxins target the central nervous system of their victims. While the toxins are intensively investigated ...

Like some other new recycling technology, using enzymes has advantages over traditional methods of shredding up old products.The plastic doesn’t have to be clean, and can be broken down ...

Cells can control an enzyme’s activity by compartmentalizing it—e.g. in membrane-bound organelles—in order to regulate its interaction with its substrates. To mimic these natural systems, researchers ...

Enzymes speed up reactions - they make things happen quicker. In our bodies hydrogen peroxide is broken down by the enzyme called catalase. Sorry I don't do liver - I just I don't like it.

Synthetic Biology Alexa to help enzyme users in the lab by Melody M. Bomgardner May 10, 2019 | A version of this story appeared in Volume 97, Issue 19 ...

Why DNA writing needs enzymes. Synthetic DNA is a key enabling technology for engineering biology. For nearly 40 years, synthetic DNA has been produced using phosphoramidite chemistry, which ...
