Enzymes are the molecular machines that power life; they build and break down molecules, copy DNA, digest food, and drive ...

Researchers have identified a brain protein whose absence leads to memory loss and Alzheimer’s-like damage in mice.

Emory University researchers led by Kyle Biegasiewicz have repurposed enzymes to produce diazo compounds from hydrazones ...

A large team of researchers led by Wouter Karthaus, head of the Endocrine Therapy Resistance and Molecular Genetics Lab at ...

Cells have a remarkable housekeeping system: proteins that are no longer needed, defective, or potentially harmful are labeled with a molecular "tag" and dismantled in the cellular recycling machinery ...

Researchers have developed a new carbon-negative building material that could reshape approaches to sustainable construction.

During early germination, water uptake activates metabolic pathways that stimulate the production of hydrolytic enzymes like ...

You’ll often hear plastic pollution referred to as a problem. But the reality is that it’s multiple problems. Depending on the properties we need, we form plastics out of different polymers, each of ...

Modern humans are evolutionary survivors, thriving generation after generation while our ancient relatives died out. Now, new research into our brain chemistry suggests that an enzyme unique to Homo ...

In biology, enzymes have evolved over millions of years to drive chemical reactions. Scientists have now derived universal rules to enable the de novo design of optimal enzymes. As an example, they ...
