Researchers want to transform the natural and abundant resource wood into useful materials, and central to that is a molecular machine found in fungi that decomposes the complex raw material into its ...

A new artificial intelligence-powered tool can help researchers determine how well an enzyme fits with a desired target, helping them find the best enzyme and substrate combination for applications ...

Biological cells invest much of their resources into the production of enzymes, which catalyze the conversion of substrates into products. An international team of bioinformaticians and biophysicists ...

The mechanism by which an enzyme used in industrial production of an important drug for type-2 diabetes recognizes its target has been demonstrated by a group of researchers. This finding will further ...

Cancer spreads in devious, almost military ways across the human body. It may, for example, alter our genetic make-up, take over certain cell-to-cell signalling mechanisms, and change essential ...

Enzymes are essential for life and are one of the most important types of protein in the human body. Studying enzyme kinetics provides information about the diverse range of reactions in the human ...
