Gifu University scientists have uncovered how a brain-specific enzyme reshapes protein-linked sugar chains to facilitate the ...

Enzymes are proteins that catalyse the chemical transformations essential to life. Through billions of years of evolution, nature has sculpted them to be remarkably efficient and specific for their ...

Researchers use synthetic biology to reverse-engineer modern nitrogenases and rebuild their possible ancestors, in an effort to better understand the origins of life on Earth and beyond.

Enzymes are proteins that guide (catalyze) very specific chemical reactions. They play indispensable roles in all life forms. Some enzymes carry out the day-to-day business of biology like digesting ...

Papaya contains papain and chymopapain, proteolytic enzymes that break down proteins into amino acids. This reduces the ...

While protein design is experiencing a period of rapid development and advancement, there’s one particularly challenging class of proteins that’s giving researchers a hard time: enzymes. Now ...
