Researchers have found a new enzyme, taken from Flavobacterium akiainvivens, that has a much broader specificity than the current leading alternatives. This analysis resulted in the identification of ...

image: 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 ...

Nitrilases are a unique class of enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis of nitrile compounds to yield the corresponding carboxylic acids or amides. Their application in biotransformation processes has ...

A research team describes how they engineered an efficient new enzyme that can produce a synthetic genetic material called threose nucleic acid. The ability to synthesize artificial chains of TNA, ...

Alpha-glucosidases are a diverse class of enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis of α-d-glucosidic linkages at the non-reducing ends of substrates, thereby releasing α-glucose. These enzymes are ...

Genome editing has advanced at a rapid pace with promising results for treating genetic conditions—but there is always room for improvement. A new paper by investigators from Mass General Brigham ...

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, ...

Researchers have unveiled the crystal structures of UBA6 in complex with either ATP or the ubiquitin-like protein FAT10. These results provide the foundation to study the individual roles of UBA6 ...

PNAS is the world's most-cited multidisciplinary scientific serial. It publishes high-impact research reports, commentaries, perspectives, reviews, colloquium papers, and actions of the Academy. In ...

CD Bioparticles launches its custom Enzyme-Conjugated Particles synthesis services for various applications.

You can't move a pharmaceutical scientist from a lab to a kitchen and expect the same research output. Enzymes behave exactly the same: They are dependent upon a specific environment. But now, in a ...
