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 ...

In the hunt for new therapeutics for cancer and infectious diseases, lasso peptides prove to be a catch. Their knot-like ...

Researchers imagine autonomous nanosized devices sailing through the blood stream, detecting molecular signs of disease or delivering drugs. Such devices will need nanomotors that can drive and steer ...

All living things depend on millions of chemical reactions that happen constantly. Chemical reactions that keep you alive happen fast! When you eat food, breathe, play, and grow, all of these are ...

Enzymology is the study of enzymes and enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Enzymes are biological catalysts that accelerate the rate of biological reactions. They can also perform multiple reactions ...

Peroxidases are enzymes that break down hydrogen peroxide in organisms. Since their discovery in 1998, the electron source of ...

GLP-1–pathway agonists such as semaglutide and newer multi-agonists have transformed care for obesity and diabetes, yet developers still wrestle with durability, tissue targeting, and signal "bias." ...

The breakthrough was made possible with the help of specialized enzymes designed to address blood-type incompatibility in transplants.

Liver enzymes can fluctuate due to factors like hormonal changes or reactions to medications. Fluctuations are often temporary, but long-term changes may indicate a condition that requires medical ...
