A remarkable quality of bioengineering is that scientists can take biological processes honed by millions of years of ...

A U.K. startup, originating from founder Jacob Nathan’s high school science project on using enzymes to break down plastic waste, has secured an oversubscribed $18.3 million in Series A funding.

Researchers developed a versatile nanorobot with propulsion and payload modules. The two reusable modules autonomously ...

Researchers synthesize enzymes to learn more about a signaling protein involved in the development of muscle, bone and blood in vertebrate embryos. A team of bioengineers at the University of Texas at ...

Enzymes are increasingly being used in the beverage industry to address challenges such as flavor, texture, and food safety ...

Chemists created an enzyme with boronic acid at its reactive center. This approach can produce more selective reactions with boron, and allows the use of directed evolution to improve its catalytic ...

The bacteria enterotoxigenic E. coli and Shigella together cause hundreds of millions of infections each year and are among ...

New research led by the University of Portsmouth has revealed how puppetry and other creative methods can effectively make complex scientific topics, such as plastic recycling, more understandable and ...

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 ...

A chance discovery at Nagoya University in Japan has shown that a well-known brain enzyme has a hidden ability: It builds a ...

Pectin is a complex plant heteropolysaccharide whose structure and function differ depending on its source. In animal feed, breaking down pectin is essential, as its presence increases feed viscosity ...
