Sir2, an enzyme belonging to sirtuins, has been shown to be involved in the deacetylation of proteins. Researchers from the ...

A poorly characterized protein, historically thought to be a chaperon or enzyme, may actually be a key player in prostate ...

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

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

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

Enzymes are proteins that guide (catalyze) very specific chemical reactions. They play indispensable roles in all life forms. Some enzymes carry out the day-to-day business of biology like digesting ...

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 ...

Landfills are overflowing with plastic trash. Serial inventor Jonathan Rothberg’s Protein Evolution found a solution: using AI to create enzymes that can recycle old polyester textiles into a material ...

While protein is essential for building and repairing muscles, a diet that is too heavy on protein can put a strain on your ...
