"There are three digestive enzymes made by your pancreas," says Mary Vouyiouklis Kellis, MD, a specialist in the department of endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism at the Cleveland Clinic. "Most ...

In biology, enzymes have evolved over millions of years to drive chemical reactions. Scientists have now derived universal rules to enable the de novo design of optimal enzymes. As an example, they ...

Enzymes are proteins that facilitate biochemical reactions by acting as a catalyst, and thus, their expression and activity have a strong influence on the reactions taking place within cells. As ...

Using a series of more than 1,000 X-ray snapshots of the shapeshifting of enzymes in action, researchers at Stanford University have illuminated one of the great mysteries of life—how enzymes are able ...

CRISPR—Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats—is the microbial world’s answer to adaptive immunity. Bacteria don’t generate antibodies when they are invaded by a pathogen and then ...

Routine blood tests are increasingly detecting elevated liver enzymes, which may signal liver stress or damage. While mild ...

Scientists who helped to pioneer the use of enzymes to eat plastic have taken an important next step in developing nature-based solutions to the global plastics crisis. They have characterized an ...

Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) is the gold standard treatment for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). It creates the enzymes your pancreas can’t make using digestive enzymes. PERT ...

Just imagine how good it would be to be able to eat your meals without bloating or gas or feeling heavy afterwards. The post ...

In a new study published in Nature titled, “Custom CRISPR-Cas9 PAM variants via scalable engineering and machine learning,” researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Harvard Medical ...
