Enzymes are molecular machines that carry out the chemical reactions that sustain all life, an ability that has captured the attention of scientists like me. Consider muscle movement. Your body ...

This release is available in German. Engineers are unlikely to tinker with the cooling system if they want to increase the size of an engine. Yet chemists at the Max Planck Institute for Coal Research ...

The global transition to a hydrogen-based clean energy economy faces a critical bottleneck: current proton exchange membrane ...

— Protein design company Arzeda raised $33 million, the Seattle startup announced Wednesday. The company generates new enzymes for industrial, agricultural and other applications. Arzeda creates ...

For the first time, researchers have succeeded in predicting how to change the optimum temperature of an enzyme using large computer calculations. A cold-adapted enzyme from an Antarctic bacterium was ...

Enzymes accelerate reactions by helping to lower the activation energy needed to start them. But how enzymes achieve this has been the subject of intense debate. A research team from Texas and China ...

Scientists have developed a novel approach to modifying enzymes to improve functionality. They designed a new algorithm to make multiple changes to an enzyme sequence at once as compared to the ...

Despite all the media attention devoted to cutting-edge therapies like CAR-Ts for pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the standard of care for early treatment of many cancers – including ALL in ...
