Researchers have captured real-time "molecular movies" showing how an enzyme changes shape during catalysis. The study was ...

While most enzymatic activity is conducted through chemical binding interactions between molecules, in some cases, the mere presence of an enzyme can affect intracellular functions. While exploring ...

Enzymes are amazing catalysts. These proteins are made of nothing more than a handful of Earth-abundant elements, and they promote a vast array of reactions, convert chemical energy to physical motion ...

Man prides himself upon his growing mastery over nature, but in the ultimate biochemical analysis nature remains the master of man. With their most sophisticated laboratory glassware and corrosive ...

Synthetic chemists can go around in circles trying to make the cyclic amides known as lactams. That’s because lactams with 4-, 5-, and 6-membered rings—known as β-, γ- and δ-lactams, respectively—are ...

RNA drugs are the next frontier of medicine, but manufacturing them requires an expensive and labor-intensive process that limits production and produces metric tons of toxic chemical waste.

Obesity is a global epidemic and a major cause of morbidity and mortality because it increases the risk for comorbidities, ...

Researchers at the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology (MIB) have demonstrated how genetically engineered enzymes can harness visible light to drive highly selective chemical reactions. This ...

The global enzymes market is entering a phase of steady, innovation-led expansion, supported by rising adoption across food ...

Liver diseases are commonly diagnosed using serum enzyme assays, particularly for aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma-glutamyl ...
