In a development that could reshape how functional foods are designed, researchers have demonstrated that coffee-derived ...

Crystal structures of an engineered hyperthermophilic sugar dehydrogenase reveal how two mutations relieve a steric barrier ...

Researchers at the University of Konstanz have now identified an enzyme that attacks certain polyesters and bioplastics. Its ...

A new method developed by researchers at KAIST and Chungnam National University could drastically streamline drug interaction testing—replacing dozens of traditional experiments with just one. The ...

Peanut allergy is one of the most serious food allergies and can lead to sudden, life-threatening reactions. Researchers from ...

Enzymes are often described as molecular machines that recognize and process specific molecules. However, they are not rigid ...

Chemists created an enzyme with boronic acid at its reactive center. This approach can produce more selective reactions with boron, and allows the use of directed evolution to improve its catalytic ...

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 ...

An enzyme called PGK1 has an unexpectedly critical role in the production of chemical energy in brain cells, according to a preclinical study led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine. The ...
