A new approach that changes just one atom in plastic-degrading enzymes could help make them more efficient while maintaining ...

A surprising relationship that governs the activity of enzymes—the molecules that catalyze almost all the chemical reactions of life—has been uncovered by three RIKEN scientists. This finding could ...

A deep-sea microbe uses an exceptionally heat-resistant enzyme to turn atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia at temperatures that ...

A small molecule extracted from a Brazilian wildflower has emerged as a surprising new weapon in the fight against antibiotic ...

Microbes in our gut produce enzymes that help with our metabolism and influence our health. For example, bile salt hydrolases (BSHs) cleave parts of bile acids, leading to the formation of secondary ...

A bacterial enzyme produced by Bacteroides vulgatus has been shown to inactivate the intestinal hormone GLP-2, disrupting gut ...

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. They are essential for life, as they play a crucial role in various biological processes, such as digestion, ...

The bacterium Acinetobacter baumannii poses a substantial threat in health care settings, readily forming biofilms on wounds and medical surfaces and contributing to persistent infections and delayed ...

Olive pomace application significantly boosted soil organic matter content over eight years. Enzyme activity and microbial ...

Plant-based enzymes are gaining momentum across the global ingredients industry, and papain is emerging as one of the most versatile proteases to watch. Derived from papaya, papain enzyme is moving ...

The brain has the ability to modify the contacts between neurons. Among other things, that is how it prevents brain activity from getting out of control. Researchers have now identified a mechanism ...
