Researchers want to transform the natural and abundant resource wood into useful materials, and central to that is a molecular machine found in fungi that decomposes the complex raw material into its ...

Researchers at the University of Basel have repurposed a natural enzyme so that it catalyzes a highly challenging chemical reaction. Their approach opens new possibilities for synthesizing complex ...

The University of Cincinnati Cancer Center’s Tom Cunningham has received a two-year, $150,000 grant from the Lung Cancer Research Foundation (LCRF) to test approaches to neutralize an enzyme complex ...

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. They are essential for life, as they play a crucial role in various biological processes, such as digestion, ...

Glycosylation — attaching a sugar molecule to a compound — can dramatically reshape a molecule's fate: boosting solubility, stability, and ...
