Ancient enzymes show life’s nitrogen signal stayed unchanged for billions of years, helping scientists read early Earth.

A team of biochemists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, has developed a faster way to identify molecules in the ...

Researchers demonstrate the implementation of a remote laboratory activity to teach students about enzyme kinetics. The COVID-19 pandemic forced teachers across the globe to embrace remote learning.

Just because an enzyme has an active site doesn’t mean the rest of the enzyme should be disregarded, as though it were so much dead weight. It influences enzyme function, if only by keeping the enzyme ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. – University at Buffalo researchers have identified for the first time an enzyme in the foxglove plant that is responsible for the production of compounds needed to make the heart ...

(Nanowerk News) By combining artificial intelligence with automated robotics and synthetic biology, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have dramatically improved performance of ...

Synthetic biology is a growing field of research that is aiming to create a new kind of organism. Engineering synthetic proteins that can perform simple cellular functions as they would in real life ...

Deep in your muscles, an enzyme called AMPD1 helps turn chemical fuel into usable energy. When it does not work well, muscles tire faster.

A protein that has long frustrated diabetes researchers is suddenly at the center of a very different fight. By targeting an enzyme called protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B, or PTP1B, scientists are ...

Artificial enzymes can fight the COVID-causing virus by selectively snipping apart its RNA genome, a new study suggests. Researchers say the technique may overcome key problems with previous ...
