All forms of life depend on enzymes—without them most biochemical reactions would proceed too slowly to sustain the processes of life. Enzymes function by binding to a compound known as a substrate.

Enzyme substrate specificity involving material conversion processes is pertinent to e.g. biochemistry, metabolic engineering, and environmental remediation; however, it is one of the most challenging ...

Microbes evolve new traits quickly, but not quickly enough for scientists eager to direct the evolution of microbes toward desirable ends. Usually, scientists must wait for chance occurrences to ...

A METHOD for the concentration of enzymes and other biological colloids was recently described by Guy E. Youngbourg 1. By this method the volume of the active solution is reduced by dialysing it ...

Over the past five years or so we've seen some important breakthroughs demonstrating how enzymes can be used to break down common plastics, such as the PET used for everything from drink bottles to ...

Y. Hokama, L. K. Shirai, L. M. Iwamoto, M. N. Kobayashi, C. S. Goto and L. K. Nakagawa We have developed a rapid and simple enzyme immunoassay stick test for ciguatoxin and related polyether toxins in ...

Materials scientists have written the recipe on how to use an oddball enzyme to build new biomaterials out of DNA. The work provides instructions for researchers the world over to build ...

Sudden cardiac death risk falls in colorectal cancer, but disparities persist … Researchers identify bacterial enzyme that ...

This article describes a simple method to determine the optimum pH for the activity of one enzyme in a coupled enzyme assay. Decoupling of the two-step reaction is achieved by heat denaturing the ...

Scientists in the United States are reporting discovery of a much-needed new method to identify the activity of destructive enzymes that have been linked to a range of diseases. Scientists in the ...
