A new artificial intelligence-powered tool can help researchers determine how well an enzyme fits with a desired target, helping them find the best enzyme and substrate combination for applications ...

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.

Natural products derived from microorganisms are a promising source of new active ingredients, but are often produced only in ...

Triterpenes are structurally complex plant natural products with numerous medicinal applications. They are synthesized through an origami-like process that involves cyclization of the linear 30 carbon ...

Researchers studying how plants evolved the abilities to make natural chemicals, which they use to adapt to stress, have uncovered how an enzyme called chalcone isomerase evolved to enable plants to ...

Among them, Rebaudioside M (Reb M) is regarded as a next-generation, high-value steviol glycoside product because of ... and Reb D as substrates. "This work not only clarifies the question of which ...

Enzymology is the study of enzymes and enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Enzymes are biological catalysts that accelerate the rate of biological reactions. They can also perform multiple reactions ...

Enzyme kinetics involves the measurement of the rate at which chemical reactions that are catalyzed by enzymes occur. Knowledge about the kinetics of an enzyme can reveal useful information about its ...

Introduction Have you ever wondered how all the food that you eat gets digested? It is not only the acid in your stomach that breaks down your food—many little molecules in your body, called enzymes, ...

ELGIN, ILL. — Amano Enzyme, a supplier of specialty enzymes, launched Umamizyme Pulse, a non-GMO enzyme designed for use in a variety of plant protein products. The enzyme produces an umami flavor ...
