Researchers want to transform the natural and abundant resource wood into useful materials, and central to that is a molecular machine found in fungi that decomposes the complex raw material into its ...

A large number of applications in the chemical industry rely on the molecules NADH or NADPH as fuel. A team led by Professor Dirk Tischler, head of the Microbial Biotechnology working group at Ruhr ...

Enzymes are amazing catalysts. These proteins are made of nothing more than a handful of Earth-abundant elements, and they promote a vast array of reactions, convert chemical energy to physical motion ...

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. They are essential for life, as they play a crucial role in various biological processes, such as digestion, ...

Using artificial intelligence, researchers show how γ-secretase recognizes substrates - an important advance for fundamental and translational research. The γ-secretase enzyme is capable of cleaving ...

Measuring Enzyme Kinetic Parameters with the ITC Universal Enzyme Assay Method Enzymes are important in drug discovery and development since they constitute approximately one-half of all known drug ...
