Two enzymes that play a role in cancer mutation offer potential new targets for intervention strategies, researchers report.
When enzymes go rogue, they can cause a range of diseases, including cancers. A new platform could reveal molecules that target them.
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.
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.
