Scientists have created a new enzyme which can break down plastics that typically take decades or centuries to degrade within a matter of days or even hours. The team of researchers, including those ...

Microrobots have long promised precision drug delivery inside the human body, but making them ...

The authors’ approach is deceptively simple: take an aldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme, which naturally converts aldehydes to acids, and get it to react with an amine instead of water. But actually making ...

Enzymes with specific functions are becoming increasingly important in industry, medicine and environmental protection. For ...

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 ...

An analysis of an unusual enzyme could result in a new generation of antimicrobial medicines to counter antibiotic resistance. Key details in the enzyme-driven biosynthesis of a natural molecule with ...

Matching blood types from donor to recipient is one of the major problems in organ donation. Now, a team of researchers in Canada has developed an enzyme treatment to convert donated organs to the ...

There’s an old magic trick known as the miser’s dream, where the magician appears to pull coins from thin air. Australian scientists say they can now generate electricity out of thin air with the help ...

Imagine trying to bake a cake without heat. You’ve got all the ingredients like flour, eggs and sugar, but nothing is happening. That’s what your body would be like without enzymes: potential but no ...
