Enzymes are proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions. In addition to performing biochemical reactions in living organisms, enzymes also function in vitro, which allows for the use of enzymes in ...

One of the main challenges of second-generation biofuel production is identifying enzymes produced by microorganisms for use in a "cocktail" of enzymes to catalyze biomass hydrolysis, in which the ...

The application of detailed mechanistic enzyme kinetics is vital for the characterization of enzyme targets; furthermore, it is crucial to aid in the design and prosecution of assays to effectively ...

The protein community is awash in data. As of October, the UniProt database of protein sequences had more than 44 million entries. UniProt serves as a clearinghouse for sequences. Researchers who ...

In this literature review, researchers discuss a PTM they believe was formed through an enzyme-independent direct chemical reaction. The number of reported posttranslational modifications (PTMs) has ...

With the onset of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), it came to light that there were no specific and highly ...

In the battle against B-cell cancers, drugs that target the enzyme Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) have transformed treatment. Before the first BTK inhibitor, ibrutinib, came on the market in 2013, ...

A growing body of research suggests that combining enzymes with biochar, a carbon-rich material made from agricultural and organic waste, could transform how scientists clean polluted water and soil.
