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.

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

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 ...

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 ...

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

The COVID-19 pandemic forced teachers across the globe to embrace remote learning. Although adapting existing materials was relatively easy for lecture-based courses that revolved around theory, ...

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 ...

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

Scientists have uncovered how cannabis evolved the ability to make its most famous compounds—THC, CBD, and CBC—by recreating ancient enzymes that existed millions of years ago. These early enzymes ...

Enzymes help digest food, clean laundry, make perfumes, and build medicines. They also break down toxins in the environment. Because of their wide use, scientists have worked for years to create ...
