Undergraduate researchers study a protein that converts omega-6 fatty acids to omega-3 fatty acids, possibly reducing ...

A couple of years ago, scientists discovered an enzyme in a waste recycling center in Japan that digests plastic. During a recent experiment to understand how this enzyme works, scientists ...

By resurrecting a 3.2-billion-year-old enzyme and studying it inside living microbes, researchers at the University of ...

Researchers demonstrate the implementation of a remote laboratory activity to teach students about enzyme kinetics. The COVID-19 pandemic forced teachers across the globe to embrace remote learning.

Researchers at Stanford University have developed a new tool they say dramatically speeds up the study of enzymes. The new tool allows thousands of very small experiments to run simultaneously on a ...

Just because it's summer doesn't mean your kids can't learn a little something. The folks at HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology have a fun science experiment that kids (and parents) can do at ...

Chronic pain affects more than 50 million Americans, yet for decades, treatment options for pain that persists in the absence ...

Just because an enzyme has an active site doesn’t mean the rest of the enzyme should be disregarded, as though it were so much dead weight. It influences enzyme function, if only by keeping the enzyme ...
