Current demand for plastics and chemical raw materials is met through large-scale production of ethylene from fossil fuels.

As the use of AI spreads through every industry and becomes more of a part of our lives every day, researchers are also ...

That problem is why, even though we’ve had success finding enzymes that break down common plastics like polyesters and PET, they’re only partial solutions to plastic waste. However, researchers aren’t ...

Enzymes are biological catalysts that facilitate biochemical transformations. An international team of bioinformatics researchers has developed a new process for predicting Michaelis constants, which ...

Natural products derived from microorganisms are a promising source of new active ingredients, but are often produced only in ...

Scientists have found that the activity of proprotein covertases, the enzymes that turn-on proteins, is regulated by the location of the enzyme inside the cell. The study uses a novel biosensor, CLIP, ...

Blocking caspase-9, an enzyme involved in cell death, may be a potential treatment target for pulmonary fibrosis, a ...
