Researchers have discovered how sperm cells perform an extraordinary metabolic transformation after ejaculation, from quiet ...

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 ...

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

A glass plate, a delicate tube and an oil bath are all that is required: thanks to a new method, researchers at ETH Zurich ...

Iridoids are a widespread and evolutionarily ancient class of plant secondary metabolites belonging to the terpenes. They ...

In a first-in-human experiment, an enzyme-converted kidney was transplanted into a brain-dead recipient. For two days, the ...

This article shows how enzymatic activity can be effectively determined by means of the Eppendorf BioSpectrometer. The preliminary measurements were carried out by utilizing the “single λ-continuous” ...

Just because it's summer doesn't mean your kids can't learn a little something. The folks at HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology have a fun science experiment that kids (and parents) can do at ...

The adrenaline test for enzymes is a colorimetric enzyme assay based on the quantification of periodate-sensitive reaction products such as 1,2-diols and 1,2-aminoalcohols by back-titration of the ...

Scientists have developed a novel approach to control the activity of enzymes through the use of synthetic, antibody-like proteins known as monobodies. The findings have widespread implications for a ...

Scientists have found that the activity of proprotein covertases, the enzymes that turn-on proteins, is regulated by the location of the enzyme inside the cell. The study uses a novel biosensor, CLIP, ...
