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

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

University of Cincinnati Cancer Center researchers looked billions of years into the past to learn more about the potential ...

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 ...

Emily Balskus, the Morris Kahn Associate Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology worked with Curtis Huttenhower, an Associate Professor of Computational Biology and Bioinformatics at the Harvard T ...

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 ...

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.

Usually enzyme complexes make multistep processes easier by catalyzing sequential reactions in which the product of one enzyme becomes the substrate for the next. In a new finding, researchers ...

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 ...
