A resurrected ancient enzyme is helping scientists test how reliably Earth’s oldest rocks record signs of life.

Scientists discovered hundreds of energy-making enzymes secretly working on human DNA—revealing a hidden “mini-metabolism” ...

Enzymatic biofuel cells can act as self-powered wearable biosensors by converting chemicals in body fluids into electricity; ...

From the 1950s to 1970s, discovery of enzymes began by identifying new chemical reactions within cell-free extracts, but ...

Frances Arnold's game-changing technique of "directed evolution" creates enzymes with unusual capabilities. Her own evolution made it possible.

A protein reinforces the blood–brain barrier, which becomes leaky with age. Exercise prevents brain ageing and memory loss by strengthening the blood–brain barrier, the structure that keeps harmful ...

Cancer is a universal issue which affects many people around the world. Many will turn to surgery in the hope a surgeon will ...

Deep in our cells, a wide range of processes are occurring constantly. These cellular processes rely on enzymes to act as catalysts and set off a series of molecular interactions. There are still many ...

Scientists show enhanced enzyme diffusion after catalysis actively drives reactions away from equilibrium, offering a new ...

Researchers discovered that coronaviruses exploit cellular stress responses to activate enzymes that modify transfer RNAs, reshaping the protein-making machinery to favor viral replication.
