Enzymes are proteins that guide (catalyze) very specific chemical reactions. They play indispensable roles in all life forms. Some enzymes carry out the day-to-day business of biology like digesting ...

Proteins sourced from microorganisms are attracting attention for their potential in biomanufacturing a variety of products, ...

How do enzymes cause tremendous increases in reaction rates? Learn how a group of enzymes called the serine proteases work. Aa Aa Aa A pile of sugar or a bottle of olive oil can sit unchanged for ...

Proteins are the workers in a cell and, as the "basic element of life", are responsible for the most widely varying metabolic processes. In plants, for example, they take on an important function in ...

Scientists have developed a novel approach to modifying enzymes to improve functionality. They designed a new algorithm to make multiple changes to an enzyme sequence at once as compared to the ...

In drug development, the term “modality” refers to the category of therapeutic based on its chemical or biological nature. Small molecules are the most established modality, known for their chemical ...

Healthy cells are constantly breaking down proteins and building up new ones with the help of enzymes aptly named unfoldases, because they unravel proteins tagged for destruction or recycling. Now, a ...

Digestive enzymes are proteins in the body that help break food down. Some people with certain medical conditions might be unable to produce sufficient enzymes and require supplements. Digestive ...

We have investigated the prediction of protein interactions through the analysis of domain fusion to assess whether metabolic enzymes have a higher participation in gene-fusion events compared with ...

Amano Enzyme has developed new enzymes designed for tea, coffee, and protein beverages that it will showcase at the IFT show in New Orleans next month. VP technical services Ken Iritani said: “The new ...
