Enzymes are molecular machines that carry out the chemical reactions that sustain all life, an ability that has captured the attention of scientists like me. Consider muscle movement. Your body ...

Knee cartilage usually wears down quietly. Over time, that loss can turn walking stairs into a daily calculation.

An approach that identifies, and predicts compatibility between, chemical and enzyme-sequence spaces can streamline and reduce risk in the discovery of enzymes that can catalyse a desired reaction.

Years of toil in the laboratory have revealed how a marine bacterium makes a potent anti-cancer molecule. The anti-cancer molecule salinosporamide A, also called Marizomb, is in Phase III clinical ...

The results revealed a clear sequence. Enzymes predating cannabis showed no ability to process CBGA. The first enzyme unique ...

Over the past five years or so we've seen some important breakthroughs demonstrating how enzymes can be used to break down common plastics, such as the PET used for everything from drink bottles to ...

How catalysts and enzymes are becoming one of the most powerful and least visible forces in low-carbon manufacturing.

ANN ARBOR, Mich.—Research aimed at teasing apart the workings of RNA enzymes eventually may lead to ways of monitoring fat metabolism and might even assist in the search for signs of life on Mars, ...

Scientists have long assumed that once the smooth cartilage in a damaged knee wears away, the body has little chance of ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago have found a small molecule capable of manipulating an immune process that plays an important role in cancers and autoimmune diseases. Their discovery ...
