Cells must produce energy despite changing conditions. But what keeps metabolic enzymes functional during temperature ...

In biology, a group of enzymes called 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenases is responsible for catalyzing a wide range of ...

Scientists have identified an enzyme that may act as a natural defense against the worsening of fatty liver disease, which ...

A machine-learning tool can precisely detect enzymes that can degrade a specific pollutant after sifting through millions of bacterial enzymes 1. ‘XenoBug’, can identify enzymes that could potentially ...

They are durable, cheap and everyday life is now hardly imaginable without them: plastics. More then 400 million metric tons ...

Evolution is an extraordinary engine for enzymatic diversity, yet the chemistry it has explored remains a narrow slice of what DNA can encode. Deep generative models can design new proteins that bind ...

Enzymes are proteins that guide (catalyze) very specific chemical reactions. They play indispensable roles in all life forms. Some enzymes carry out the day-to-day business of biology like digesting ...
