Chemistry researchers at the University of Utah have uncovered an enzyme, dubbed PapB, that can "tie off" therapeutic ...

Tumors can grow quickly only when they’re well fed, so doctors seek ways to starve the malignancies. Realizing that cancer cells consume more methionine than healthy cells do, researchers engineered a ...

A couple of years ago, scientists discovered an enzyme in a waste recycling center in Japan that digests plastic. During a recent experiment to understand how this enzyme works, scientists ...

UB researchers have identified for the first time an enzyme in the foxglove plant that is responsible for the production of compounds needed to make the heart failure drug digoxin. The breakthrough ...

A new cloud-based service from New England Biolabs, a purveyor of enzymes for molecular biology use, will provide hands-free help to lab researchers. Molecular biologists can ask Amazon’s Alexa ...

Researchers demonstrate the implementation of a remote laboratory activity to teach students about enzyme kinetics. The COVID-19 pandemic forced teachers across the globe to embrace remote learning.

CHICAGO — Archer Daniels Midland Co. has opened an enzyme laboratory in Davis, Calif. Scientists there will work with other ADM research and development facilities throughout the world to develop ...

Some viral infections just don’t go away. The hepatitis C virus, for instance, can result in life-long chronic infection if left untreated, leading to potentially life-threatening symptoms such as ...

The tree of life has three branches: archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes. Eukaryotes include complex organisms, including plants, animals, and fungi. Eukaryotic cells contain many organelles, little ...

Three new enzyme studies at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have yielded a new strategy for blocking infection by human adenovirus. The findings, reported in the October ...
