Recent studies indicate that it may influence glycolysis, a metabolic process closely linked to liver fibrosis. By reducing ...

Consuming a high-fat diet can lead to a variety of health problems—not only weight gain but also an increased risk of ...

The hollow structure reduces interfacial interactions and is inspired by the cell environment, such as glycolysis enzymes in the cytoplasm of living cells. "Our study not only highlights the ...

Enzymes help with specific functions that are vital to the operation and overall health of the body. They help speed up chemical reactions in the human body. They are essential for respiration ...

How does your body speed up these important reactions? The answer is enzymes. Enzymes in our bodies are catalysts that speed up reactions by helping to lower the activation energy needed to start a ...

Using a series of more than 1,000 X-ray snapshots of the shapeshifting of enzymes in action, researchers at Stanford University have illuminated one of the great mysteries of life—how enzymes ...

Crafting enzymes is more difficult than designing other proteins because it requires not just predicting the structure of a single protein conformation, but of changes in conformations as enzymes ...

Enzymes are amazing catalysts. These proteins are made of nothing more than a handful of Earth-abundant elements, and they promote a vast array of reactions, convert chemical energy to physical ...

Researchers at the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology (MIB) have demonstrated how genetically engineered enzymes can harness visible light to drive highly selective chemical reactions.

A U.K. startup, originating from founder Jacob Nathan’s high school science project on using enzymes to break down plastic waste, has secured an oversubscribed $18.3 million in Series A funding.
