Bacterial styrene oxidase isomerase has been known to science for more than three decades, but its mechanism of action has ...

When it comes to building molecules, proteins in our bodies often do a better job than even the best chemists in a lab. That’s why scientists are trying to harness their power to find new ways to make ...

Enzymes are catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions in living systems. They reduce the energy required for chemical reactions to occur and act like a team of experts in construction projects, ...

Bionic enzymes got a needed boost in speed thanks to new research at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). By pairing a noble metal with a natural enzyme, ...

Scientists led by Javier Martinez from the Max Perutz Labs, a joint venture of the Medical University of Vienna and the University of Vienna, have identified a unique chemical reaction at the end of ...

Enzymes are important tools, and a new technology combining microbiology and AI has exciting potential to advance their use in many applications ...

Scientists have discovered a fundamental shift in an enzyme's function that could help expand the toolbox for engineering biofuels and other plant-based oil products. If your experiment doesn't go the ...

Nature has evolved thousands of enzymes to facilitate the many chemical reactions that take place inside organisms to sustain life. Now, researchers have designed artificial enzymes that sit on the ...

Chemists have long dreamed of mimicking nature’s precision, and now, thanks to a repurposed enzyme, they’ve taken a leap closer. Researchers at the University of Basel have successfully combined a ...

Bionic enzymes got a needed boost in speed thanks to new research. By pairing a noble metal with a natural enzyme, scientists created a hybrid capable of churning out molecules at a rate comparable to ...
