Pseudoenzyme plays a key role in the formation of indole The team tested many different enzymes that could be involved in the crucial indole synthesis step using the model plant Nicotiana benthamiana.

New enzyme discovery offers hope for millions of diabetes patients The scientists also ran molecular dynamics simulations to observe how the enzyme moves and reacts under different conditions.

The deconstruction of cellulose is essential for the conversion of biomass into fuels and chemicals. But cellulose, the most abundant renewable polymer on the planet, is extremely recalcitrant to ...

A new CU Boulder study unravels a decades-old mystery around an enigmatic enzyme—a cancer driver known as CDK7.

A U.K. startup, originating from founder Jacob Nathan's high school science project on using enzymes to break down plastic waste, has secured an ...

Zhao mentions that the substrate for this enzyme is not ʟ-tryptophan but 5-bromo-ʟ-tryptophan. He would want to find out if ʟ-tryptophan could substitute for 5-bromo-ʟ-tryptophan, he says.

Having shown that the enzyme could indeed handle fluoroalkylation, the researchers deployed information gathered from molecular docking simulations to make strategic edits to the protein sequence.

Scientists found hydrogen enzymes in ancient archaea, potentially transforming energy generation and paving the way for a greener, sustainable future.

The enzyme RuBisCO is needed for photosynthesis. But it sucks at is job — and it’s getting worse with extreme heat.

Enzymes in cancer therapy Besides their use in cancer diagnosis, enzymes are also involved in cancer therapy, both as targets of therapeutic methods and as a therapeutic tool. For example, where ...
