Whether they are laundry detergents, mascara, or Christmas chocolate, many everyday products contain fatty acids from palm ...

This method uses polymer modifications to tune enzyme activity for increased solubility in non-native solvents. Tuning the miscibility of enzymes in non-native solvent environments has important ...

Emory University researchers led by Kyle Biegasiewicz have repurposed enzymes to produce diazo compounds from hydrazones ...

Whether laundry detergents, mascara, or Christmas chocolate - many everyday products contain fatty acids from palm oil or coconut oil. However, the ...

Fatty acids derived from palm oil and coconut oil are found in countless everyday products, but their extraction drives deforestation. Researchers at ...

Enzymes are the molecular machines that power life; they build and break down molecules, copy DNA, digest food, and drive ...

In biology, enzymes have evolved over millions of years to drive chemical reactions. Scientists have now derived universal rules to enable the de novo design of optimal enzymes. As an example, they ...

An entirely new approach to inhibiting DNA-cleaving enzymes works through the aggregation of an otherwise non-toxic molecule. This discovery may lead to a much-needed method for curbing Streptococcus ...

Enzymes are the molecule factories in biological cells. However, which basic molecular building blocks they use to assemble target molecules is often unknown and difficult to measure. An international ...

A research team at Leibniz-HKI has described a new enzyme that renders the highly toxic molecule malleicyprol harmless. Malleicyprol is considered an important virulence factor of Burkholderia ...
