Enzymes play a central role in the chemistry of living nature. They facilitate our digestion, for example, and often determine the difference between sick or healthy organisms. One expert now says ...

What are enzymes? Enzymes are proteins that serve as catalysts to speed up biochemical reactions by breaking down larger molecules into smaller ones, says Dave Farina, a science educator and ...

All living things depend on millions of chemical reactions that happen constantly. Chemical reactions that keep you alive happen fast, and enzymes speed up these important reactions!

Because enzymes are highly interconnected, their functions multifaceted, and their cellular environments complex, identifying what affects their structure and function requires methods beyond ...

Research aimed at teasing apart the workings of RNA enzymes eventually may lead to ways of monitoring fat metabolism and might even assist in the search for signs of life on Mars, according to ...

AI used to design a multi-step enzyme that can digest some plastics Enzyme mechanisms can be complex, and getting them to work is tricky.

Combined approach takes AI-engineered enzymes one step closer to practical applications.

Contrary to what previously thought, enzymes move towards areas with less substrate. They display such behavior despite not having any thinking or sensing capabilities.
