Current demand for plastics and chemical raw materials is met through large-scale production of ethylene from fossil fuels.

As the use of AI spreads through every industry and becomes more of a part of our lives every day, researchers are also ...

Researchers have made a significant advance toward the goal of using bacteria—rather than fossil fuels—to produce ethylene, a ...

That problem is why, even though we’ve had success finding enzymes that break down common plastics like polyesters and PET, they’re only partial solutions to plastic waste. However, researchers aren’t ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed a highly efficient cell-free enzyme system that converts ...

A newly discovered enzyme motif reveals how ocean microbes are evolving to digest plastic, potentially aiding future cleanup ...

New research from Johns Hopkins Medicine shows that the enzyme biliverdin reductase A (BVRA) plays a direct protective role against oxidative stress in neurons, independent of its role producing the ...

The findings confirm that allosteric inhibition of integrase is clinically viable, validating a new antiviral drug class.

It turns out there is more to gas than a sheepish laugh or a quick departure from a crowded room. Scientists from Monash ...

The world’s deadliest infectious disease urgently requires new and effective antibiotics. Researchers have created a promising new compound that may mark a major step forward in the global effort to ...

Enzyme mechanisms of catalysis play many important roles in the functioning of a healthy body. An enzyme may exist as a multi-subunit complex or it may be associated with a cofactor such as adenosine ...
