Living cells are sustained by countless chemical reactions that must be carefully regulated to maintain internal order and ...

Bionic enzymes got a needed boost in speed thanks to new research. By pairing a noble metal with a natural enzyme, scientists created a hybrid capable of churning out molecules at a rate comparable to ...

Chemical engineers have developed an online tool that can accurately assign genes and proteins to unknown 'orphan' reactions, which are a major headache for biotechnology, drug development, and even ...

Enzymes are catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions in living systems. They reduce the energy required for chemical reactions to occur and act like a team of experts in construction projects, ...

While most enzymatic activity is conducted through chemical binding interactions between molecules, in some cases, the mere presence of an enzyme can affect intracellular functions. While exploring ...

All metabolic pathways have to be regulated and controlled to stop the build-up of an end product that isn’t needed. The cell can control a metabolic pathway by the presence or absence of a particular ...

Researchers from ITMO University, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje have fabricated a new magnetically controlled material composed of enzymes entrapped ...

Methanol-to-olefins (MTO) process, an innovative and efficient route for olefin production via non-petrochemical resources, has achieved successful development and application in industry and ...

Part of Biology (Single Science) Living together - Food and ecosystems Enzymes are also involved in the building up of chemical molecules elsewhere in the body. In an organism, the active site of each ...
