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 ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising connection between sugar metabolism and alcohol addiction, identifying a potential new ...

By fusing enzyme fragments to antibodies, researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo, in Japan, developed an innovative ...

The ability to respond to changing surroundings was once considered exclusive to complex living organisms. Then came ...

Mechanistically, the chemists think that in the presence of the enzyme, there’s a formal hydrogen atom abstraction that is ...

Like so many of our body’s processes, digestion tends to go on unnoticed when it’s working well. But when things aren’t running so smoothly, the effects can impact both physical and mental health.

Sir2, an enzyme belonging to sirtuins, has been effectively involved in the deacetylation of proteins. A tandem allosteric effect of reactant and product is responsible for the efficient deacetylation ...

Janelia researchers have uncovered a novel way that two of the structures inside cells-the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and ...

The overall well-being of our body is heavily reliant on enzymes. These vital components transform food into nutrients that our body can use. Nonetheless, there might be individuals who naturally lack ...

We were just magnet fishing, minding our own business, and trying to clean up the river. Then the cops rolled up like we were smuggling submarines. Turns out, finding old junk can apparently look very ...
