The authors’ approach is deceptively simple: take an aldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme, which naturally converts aldehydes to acids, and get it to react with an amine instead of water. But actually making ...

Enzymes with specific functions are becoming increasingly important in industry, medicine and environmental protection. For ...

An analysis of an unusual enzyme could result in a new generation of antimicrobial medicines to counter antibiotic resistance ...

A single enzyme that can generate all four nucleoside triphosphates, the building blocks of ribonucleic acid (RNA), has been ...

Focusing on an enzyme in yeast, they demonstrated how contrasts in atomic scale motions impact their function. The method promises unprecedented access to the mechanisms by which biomolecules work, ...

Jason Boock and Jason Berberich, both professors of Chemical, Paper, and Biomedical Engineering at Miami University, are researching methods to produce an enzyme that has large potential to change how ...

Using enzymes produced by a bacteria that almost everyone has in their gut, researchers have removed the antigens from red blood cells that determine blood type, putting us within reach of producing ...

(THE CONVERSATION) Enzymes are molecular machines that carry out the chemical reactions that sustain all life, an ability that has captured the attention of scientists like me. Consider muscle ...
