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.

UB 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 failure drug digoxin. The breakthrough ...

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 ...

Enzymes are crucial for speeding up slow chemical reactions. Anyone who has worked in a genetics lab is familiar with a common enzyme called Taq polymerase, because it's a reliable workhorse that can ...

A team of scientists has taken a closer look at the origins of cannabis chemistry by reconstructing enzymes from ancient ...

By resurrecting a 3.2-billion-year-old enzyme and studying it inside living microbes, researchers at the University of ...

Chronic pain affects more than 50 million Americans, yet for decades, treatment options for pain that persists in the absence ...

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 ...

In the United States about 5%-8% of the population is affected by an autoimmune disorder. Other reports, however, estimate a higher prevalence of various types of autoimmune disorders due to complex ...

NASA-supported scientists have resurrected an enzyme first used by organisms on Earth 3.2-billion years ago and, in the ...
