Enzymes help digest food, clean laundry, make perfumes, and build medicines. They also break down toxins in the environment. Because of their wide use, scientists have worked for years to create ...

Researchers have uncovered the enzyme behind chromothripsis, a chaotic chromosome-shattering event seen in about one in four cancers. The enzyme, N4BP2, breaks apart DNA trapped in tiny cellular ...

For much of nutrition science history, trace minerals were discussed almost exclusively in the context of deficiency diseases ...

An analysis of an unusual enzyme could result in a new generation of antimicrobial medicines to counter antibiotic resistance. Key details in the enzyme-driven biosynthesis of a natural molecule with ...

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

Researchers have developed a novel antibody-based enzyme switch that converts antibody–antigen binding into enzyme activity, paving the way from detection via bioluminescence to the control of ...

Using computational design, researchers have transformed a protein with no catalytic abilities into a highly active enzyme. Scientists said the experiment, reported in the June 25 Science, represents ...

The COVID-19 pandemic forced teachers across the globe to embrace remote learning. Although adapting existing materials was relatively easy for lecture-based courses that revolved around theory, ...
