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 ...

Proteins are the workers in a cell and, as the "basic element of life", are responsible for the most widely varying metabolic processes. In plants, for example, they take on an important function in ...

Healthy cells are constantly breaking down proteins and building up new ones with the help of enzymes aptly named unfoldases, because they unravel proteins tagged for destruction or recycling. Now, a ...

Scientists have developed a novel approach to modifying enzymes to improve functionality. They designed a new algorithm to make multiple changes to an enzyme sequence at once as compared to the ...

Proteins sourced from microorganisms are attracting attention for their potential in biomanufacturing a variety of products, ...

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

In drug development, the term “modality” refers to the category of therapeutic based on its chemical or biological nature. Small molecules are the most established modality, known for their chemical ...

We have investigated the prediction of protein interactions through the analysis of domain fusion to assess whether metabolic enzymes have a higher participation in gene-fusion events compared with ...

Amano Enzyme has developed a new enzyme that improves the solubility of proteins at lower pH levels, helping manufacturers develop fruity protein shakes and other beverages without some of the ...

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 ...

Amano Enzyme has developed new enzymes designed for tea, coffee, and protein beverages that it will showcase at the IFT show in New Orleans next month. VP technical services Ken Iritani said: “The new ...
