Although many organisms capture and respond to sunlight, enzymes - proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions - are rarely driven by light. Scientists have identified only three types of natural ...

Researchers have identified a versatile enzyme capable of reshaping peptide-based drugs into more stable, longer-lasting forms.

A collaboration between Merck & Co and Codexis, Inc. has resulted in the development of a nine-enzyme, chain-reaction approach for making the HIV drug islatravir. In their paper published in the ...

They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. But bathing an enzyme in blue-green light has enabled researchers to completely change its catalytic function, so that it carries out a ring-forming ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Chemists have long dreamed of mimicking nature’s precision, and now, thanks to a repurposed enzyme, they’ve taken a leap closer.

For the first time, researchers have successfully used computational simulations to modify an enzyme’s structure to increase the optimum temperature of a reaction. Researchers at Uppsala University ...

Scientists have discovered a fundamental shift in an enzyme's function that could help expand the toolbox for engineering biofuels and other plant-based oil products. If your experiment doesn't go the ...

What the research is about Inside our cells, DNA-the blueprint of life-and RNA, which supports cellular functions based ...

Researchers have captured a bacterial enzyme in the act of encircling collagen and pulling a single strand through its ...
