Enzymes catalyze chemical reactions in organisms—without which life would not be possible. Leveraging AlphaFold2 artificial ...

High-resolution cryo-electron microscopy makes it possible to study complex enzymatic processes in detail. With this method, a research team of the University of Potsdam and Humboldt-Universität ...

All living things depend on millions of chemical reactions that happen constantly. Chemical reactions that keep you alive happen fast, and enzymes speed up these important reactions!

Tweaking the chemical composition of a parrot-specific pigment can shift feathers from red to yellow or green.

Enzymes help speed up chemical reactions in the body. They affect every function, from breathing to digestion.

Enzymes that initially showed only modest activity have been turned into potential therapeutics against VX – a chemical cousin of sarin and the most toxic nerve agent of all.

In a recent publication, researchers of the Cluster of Excellence PMI show how an enzyme complex in intestinal cells regulates the colonisation of microorganisms. The intestinal microbiome, i.e ...

Enzymes are biological molecules (typically proteins) that significantly speed up the rate of virtually all of the chemical reactions that take place within cells.

But ancient heat-loving enzymes forced to adapt to a cooling Earth managed to swap out parts to keep chemical reactions going, scientists report online December 22 in Science.
