A new way to separate cotton and polyester with enzymes could lead to better textile recycling, say researchers.

Using an enzyme from the crested ibis, scientists developed cells engineered to express therapeutic proteins, specifically a thrombin inhibitor.

A textile filter made from cotton and an enzyme that speeds chemical reactions shows promise for removing CO2 from air and gas mixtures.

"This bacterial enzyme is the most efficient carbon fixer that we know of, and we came up with a neat explanation of what it can do."

Plastics can take centuries to degrade. A new enzyme breaks them down in hours or days. It could address our major plastic waste problem.

Dave MacMillon and Ben List both developed simple catalysts that make precise chemical reactions much faster and more efficient.

The same dose of a drug can have varying degrees of effectiveness and safety depending on how well the liver can metabolize it.

An enzyme related to neurotoxins found in rattlesnake venom may be a key molecular mechanism behind COVID-19 severity, researchers report.

A small fungal enzyme that affects chirality could make it simpler to develop and manufacture drugs, report scientists.

A bioluminescent capsule tests levels of bile salt hydrolase in the gut and its creators say its findings suggest the power of probiotics.
