Among the various plastic recycling methods being explored, one promising approach is biological plastic recycling, also ...

The heightened intrinsic activity resulting from loop confinement in enzymes arises synergistically from enthalpic and entropic contributions, which are contingent upon the extent of surface ...

Specific glycans attached to the GnT-IVa and GnT-IVb can bind to the enzyme’s ligand-binding site, interfering with recognition and binding to the glycosylation proteins’ normal glycoprotein ...

Researchers from Drexel University’s College of Arts and Sciences and College of Medicine have found a potential new therapeutic target for Alzheimer’s disease. Expanding on their previous research on ...

Life has evolved over billions of years, adapting to the changing environment. Similarly, enzymes—proteins that speed up biochemical reactions (catalysis) in cells—have adapted to the habitats of ...

A platform to engineer enzymes responsible for the formation of amide bonds as an effort toward developing biocatalysts for green chemistry. Amide bonds — a type of chemical bond formed between a ...

Imagine trying to bake a cake without heat. You’ve got all the ingredients like flour, eggs and sugar, but nothing is happening. That’s what your body would be like without enzymes: potential but no ...

Putting the brakes on an enzyme might rescue neurons that are dying due to a type of Parkinson's disease that's caused by a single genetic mutation, according to a new Stanford Medicine-led study ...
