Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed a highly efficient cell-free enzyme system that converts ...

A new study published in the journal Nature Catalysis on February 10, 2020, reports the creation of a new artificial enzyme from two components, both non-biological in origin. This event marks the ...

Researchers have made a significant advance toward the goal of using bacteria—rather than fossil fuels—to produce ethylene, a ...

A bacterial enzyme could make it possible to produce the plastic building block ethylene without the emission of CO₂.

image: Synthesizing hybrid enzyme catalysts in situ to improve and expand enzymatic catalysis is an important way to address challenges of industrial biocatalysis. In this account, the construction ...

That problem is why, even though we’ve had success finding enzymes that break down common plastics like polyesters and PET, they’re only partial solutions to plastic waste. However, researchers aren’t ...

Researchers have made a significant advance in the development of artificial catalysts for making cleaner chemicals and fuels at an industrial scale. All living organisms depend on enzymes -- ...

Scientists observed the characteristics of a single enzyme inside a nanopore. This revealed that the enzyme can exist in four different folded states, or conformers, that play an active role in the ...

WASHINGTON, D.C., May 10, 2016 - Enzymes play a crucial role in most biological processes--controlling energy transduction, as well as the transcription and translation of genetic information and ...
