Dr. Xuejun Zhu, assistant professor in the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University, was awarded a Welch Foundation grant to help uncover and characterize enzymes ...

Visual representations of the chitinase surface and secondary structures. New findings about chitinases, enzymes found naturally in plants, could allow farmers to address fungal infections sooner and ...

Researchers have found hundreds of metabolic enzymes attached to human DNA inside the cell nucleus. Different tissues and cancers show unique patterns of these enzymes, forming a “nuclear metabolic ...

Enzymes, which are crucial to controlling how cells replicate in the human body, could be the very ingredient that encourages DNA to spontaneously mutate -- causing potentially permanent genetic ...

Enzymes are the molecular machines that power life; they build and break down molecules, copy DNA, digest food, and drive virtually every chemical reaction in our cells. For decades, scientists have ...

Catalase enzymes play a pivotal role in cellular defence by decomposing hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen, thereby mitigating oxidative stress. These oxidoreductases are ubiquitously found ...

L-Asparaginase is an enzyme that has revolutionized the treatment of certain types of cancer, particularly acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). This enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of asparagine, an ...

Here's what enzymes are, what they do and how you'll know if you are ever low on them.

A popular experiment that's recommended to demonstrate the functionality of enzymes is chewing a piece of bread for a moment, then paying attention to when it turns from a starchy flavor to begin ...

MALVERN, Pa., Feb. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ecovyst Inc. (NYSE: ECVT), a leading integrated and innovative global provider of advanced materials, specialty catalysts ...

Light to fuel: clean hydrogen production. Improved understanding of the light-driven production of hydrogen holds the promise not just to make the reaction more efficient in producing a fuel, but also ...

Before a train can transport people or goods from one location to another, the railroad engineer must couple the railcars together in the proper order. On a passenger train, for example, this might ...
