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 ...

New images of an enzyme in action as it interacts with the chromosome could provide important insight into how cells--including cancer cells--regulate their genes. The enzyme, LSD1, can "turn off" ...

Researchers from Tomsk Polytechnic University, together with their colleagues from Czech universities, have proposed a new ...

Advanced microscopy techniques give scientists valuable clues for how to fight an enzyme that is leading to a rise in cases of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections worldwide. Bacteria draw from ...

THE fact that the monograph has reached its fifth edition shows that it occupies a definite place in modern biochemical literature, and it seems almost superfluous to state that it presents an ...

There are more than 30 million tons of plastic waste sitting in American landfills. Those plastics can take hundreds of years to break down naturally. A scientific breakthrough could help clean it up ...

DALLAS – Aug. 11, 2005 – Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have defined a key step in the production of beta-amyloid, a short protein that is thought to be responsible for the development ...

UPTON, NY -- Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, the New York Structural Biology Center, and SGX Pharmaceuticals, Inc., have determined the atomic crystal ...

Enzymes are biological catalysts that facilitate biochemical transformations. An international team of bioinformatics researchers has developed a new process for predicting Michaelis constants, which ...
