Researchers devised a reversibly lockable DNA device for enclosing an enzyme and controlling its access to substrates. Turning on and off the activity of a single enzyme on demand is a much desired ...

Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. Led by Huimin Zhao, a professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at the U. of I., the team reported its findings in the ...

A new cloud-based service from New England Biolabs, a purveyor of enzymes for molecular biology use, will provide hands-free help to lab researchers. Molecular biologists can ask Amazon’s Alexa ...

Without enzymes, an organism would not be able to survive. It is these biocatalysts that facilitate a whole range of chemical reactions, producing the building blocks of the cells. Enzymes are also ...

Enzymes are biological catalysts that facilitate biochemical transformations. An international team of bioinformatics researchers has developed a new process for predicting Michaelis constants, which ...

Aims Hotspots of enzyme activity in soil strongly depend on carbon inputs such as rhizodeposits and root detritus. In this study, we compare the effect of living and dead Lupinus polyphyllus L. roots ...

Blocking the activity of an enzyme inside fat cells can decrease obesity and related health disorders in mice, according to new research led by the University of Michigan Life Sciences Institute. The ...

Usually enzyme complexes make multistep processes easier by catalyzing sequential reactions in which the product of one enzyme becomes the substrate for the next. In a new finding, researchers report ...
