Neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s are characterized by clumps of misfolded proteins accumulating and killing brain cells. Now, researchers at Johns Hopkins have developed an artificial ...

Chemists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have found a new use for deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), not just as ...

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. But it takes millions of pictures to understand the intricate chemistry of an enzyme that helps break down sulfur, commonly found in fruits, vegetables, ...

One of my favorite childhood summertime memories is being surrounded by fireflies. As the sun set, their shimmering glow would spark up the backyard like delicate fairy lights. The fact that living ...

Cambridge researchers have engineered a solar-powered “artificial leaf” that mimics photosynthesis to make valuable chemicals sustainably. Their biohybrid device combines organic semiconductors and ...

Scientists at the University of Groningen turned a non-enzymatic protein into a new, artificial enzyme by adding two abiological catalytic components: an unnatural amino acid and a catalytic copper ...

A team of researchers from Washington State University (WSU) and the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) has developed an artificial peptoid-based enzyme that can ...

A University of Minnesota discovery could lead to industrial innovations and a deeper understanding of how life developed. University assistant professor Burckhard Seelig and other collaborators spent ...

A new study published in the journal Nature Catalysis on February 10, 2020, reports the creation of a new artificial enzyme from two components, both non-biological in origin. This event marks the ...

Perilous and polluting industrial processes can be made safer with enzymes. But only a short range of enzymes have been available for the chemical industry. Recently a group of researchers at The ...

An innovative artificial enzyme has shown it can chew through woody lignin, an abundant carbon-based substance that stores tremendous potential for renewable energy and materials. A new artificial ...

Chemical reaction cascades have been generated in a cell using an artificial enzyme as a catalyst. Let there be light: An artificial metalloenzyme (blue) penetrates a mammalian cell, where it ...
