An enzyme could make a dream come true for the energy industry: It can efficiently produce hydrogen using electricity and can also generate electricity from hydrogen. The enzyme is protected by ...

Chloromethane is a gas that is toxic to humans and contributes to the depletion of the ozone layer. It is produced during the combustion of coal, biomass and other raw materials. Natural sources such ...

(Nanowerk News) Cell-free biocatalysis is being increasingly used as a substitute for conventional chemical catalysts, given that enzymes (biological catalysts) are more sustainable and selective in ...

Description Microbial metabolism represents one of the most chemically diverse and functionally complex systems in nature. Despite decades of research, a ...

A research team led by biologist Professor Julia Kurth from the University of Münster has characterised a previously unknown enzyme system in anaerobic bacteria that converts toxic chloromethane into ...

Invertebrates employ a wide array of cellulolytic enzyme systems to access the energy stored in plant biomass. These systems combine endogenous enzymes produced by the host with complementary ...

Scientists have revealed a never-before-seen phenomenon in a protein: Alone, the enzyme processes DNA and RNA but, when bound to another protein as part of a defense system, interacts with a ...

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. They are essential for life, as they play a crucial role in various biological processes, such as digestion, ...

These enzymes are of use to bacteria in two very different ways: to obtain food and to protect them from your body's immune system. Dr. Fatemeh Askarian at NMBU has discovered that these enzymes ...
