Newswise — EAST LANSING, Mich. – As global temperatures rise, it’s imperative that plants can adapt to new and changing conditions. Michigan State University researchers from the Walker lab are ...

Enzymes are the molecular tools of life. They accelerate chemical reactions and are able to distinguish very precisely ...

Reconstructed ancestral plant enzymes reveal that high mirror-image selectivity arose through combined changes across the ...

Many naturally occurring molecules such as menthol or limonene exist in two mirror-image forms, known as enantiomers, that look almost identical but can differ greatly in smell, taste or effect on the ...

New findings about chitinases, enzymes found naturally in plants, could allow farmers to address fungal infections sooner and more efficiently. Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy Ames ...

As global temperatures rise, it's imperative that plants can adapt to new and changing conditions. Michigan State University researchers from the Walker lab are looking at ways to give plants an ...

A new review proposes combining enzymes fermented from agricultural waste with artificial nanozymes to degrade persistent ...

Scientists have discovered that a protein responsible for the synthesis of a key plant material evolved much earlier than suspected. This new research explored the origin and evolution of the ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have created a new enzyme and demonstrated its potential ability to interfere with the production of lignin, a key ...
