Researchers want to transform the natural and abundant resource wood into useful materials, and central to that is a molecular machine found in fungi that decomposes the complex raw material into its ...

A new artificial intelligence-powered tool can help researchers determine how well an enzyme fits with a desired target, helping them find the best enzyme and substrate combination for applications ...

In the ocean, plastic waste collects to form large garbage patches that endanger marine life. This is partly because the ...

Lactase activity directly affects enzyme dosage, processing efficiency, and product performance. By understanding how activity is defined and evaluated, buyers can make more informed purchasing ...

Glycosylation — attaching a sugar molecule to a compound — can dramatically reshape a molecule's fate: boosting solubility, stability, and ...

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. They are essential for life, as they play a crucial role in various biological processes, such as digestion, ...

Researchers identified an enzyme that degrades certain polyesters and inactivates penicillin, suggesting microbes may adapt ...

DNA normally uses four letters. In lab tests, a bacterial enzyme successfully read eight, including four synthetic bases.
