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 ...

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 ...

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.

Researchers have captured real-time "molecular movies" showing how an enzyme changes shape during catalysis. The study was ...

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 ...

Experiments with baker's yeast showed why a fat-regulating enzyme is needed in the body. Sixty years ago, researchers found a crucial enzyme for fat regulation in the body, and in 2006 work at Rutgers ...

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 ...

People exercise for all kinds of reasons, but a couple of common reasons are to burn off some fat and to increase the limits of their physical performance. Newly published research from scientists at ...

WHICH FRUITS CAN RUIN YOUR GELATIN DESSERT? Why are some fruits not recommended for adding to gelatin? Here is a basic science fair project for investigating enzymes that prevent gelatin from ...
