Moreover, since tumor tissues are heterogenous, detecting multiple enzyme activities simultaneously could allow precise cancer visualization and diagnosis. However, the inability to detect multiple ...

Scientists have developed a novel approach to modifying enzymes to improve functionality. They designed a new algorithm to make multiple changes to an enzyme sequence at once as compared to the ...

Enzymes are molecular machines that carry out the chemical reactions that sustain all life, an ability that has captured the ...

In biology, enzymes have evolved over millions of years to drive chemical reactions. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization (MPI-DS) have now derived universal ...

One of my favorite childhood summertime memories is being surrounded by fireflies. As the sun set, their shimmering glow would spark up the backyard like delicate fairy lights. The fact that living ...

CWRU has a decades-long history of research into pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency (PDCD). The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) is a multiple enzyme complex in the shape of a pentagonal ...

New research represents a notable step forward in designing enzymes from scratch. With their approach, the authors designed an enzyme that uses a covalent intermediate to catalyze a two-step reaction, ...

Enzymes are molecular machines that carry out the chemical reactions that sustain all life, an ability that has captured the attention of scientists like me. Consider muscle movement. Your body ...
