Living cells are sustained by countless chemical reactions that must be carefully regulated to maintain internal order and ...

For the first time, researchers have succeeded in predicting how to change the optimum temperature of an enzyme using large computer calculations. A cold-adapted enzyme from an Antarctic bacterium was ...

From the 1950s to 1970s, discovery of enzymes began by identifying new chemical reactions within cell-free extracts, but ...

Unhackneyed compartmentalization generated by audible sound allows the enzyme reactions to be controlled spatiotemporally. Spatiotemporal regulation of multistep enzyme reactions through ...

More than 200 metabolic enzymes, many of which are normally tasked with producing energy in the mitochondria, are also found ...

Frances Arnold's game-changing technique of "directed evolution" creates enzymes with unusual capabilities. Her own evolution made it possible.

The controversial process of enhanced enzyme diffusion could enable living systems to resist local equilibrium ...

CHAPEL HILL – All biological reactions within human cells depend on enzymes. Their power as catalysts enables biological reactions to occur usually in milliseconds. But how slowly would these ...

Researchers have found evidence of nuclear metabolic enzymes for the first time, contributing to our understanding of cancer ...
