By fusing enzyme fragments to antibodies, researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo, in Japan, developed an innovative ...

Mechanistically, the chemists think that in the presence of the enzyme, there’s a formal hydrogen atom abstraction that is ...

The ability to respond to changing surroundings was once considered exclusive to complex living organisms. Then came ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new structure determination method using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy which shows how different parts of complex ...

Enzymes catalyze chemical reactions in organisms - without which life would not be possible. Leveraging AlphaFold2 artificial intelligence, researchers at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin have now ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising connection between sugar metabolism and alcohol addiction, identifying a potential new ...

Current demand for plastics and chemical raw materials is met through large-scale production of ethylene from fossil fuels.

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 ...

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.
