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 ...

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

CARBONIC anhydrase is a zinc metalloenzyme that reversibly catalyzes the hydration of carbon dioxide to bicarbonate and hydrogen ions according to the following equation 1: Blood was obtained from ...

A new study finds enhanced activity of a specific enzyme drives spinocerebellar ataxia type 14, which suggests inhibiting the enzyme may have therapeutic potential. pinocerebellar ataxias are a group ...

Microbes in our gut produce enzymes that help with our metabolism and influence our health. For example, bile salt hydrolases (BSHs) cleave parts of bile acids, leading to the formation of secondary ...

Recent findings from a preclinical study conducted by Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have uncovered a pivotal role of the enzyme PGK1 in brain cell energy production, offering new hope for ...

The brain has the ability to modify the contacts between neurons. Among other things, that is how it prevents brain activity from getting out of control. Researchers have now identified a mechanism ...

Blocking the activity of an enzyme inside fat cells can decrease obesity and related health disorders in mice, according to new research led by the University of Michigan Life Sciences Institute. The ...
