As the use of AI spreads through every industry and becomes more of a part of our lives every day, researchers are also ...

Sir2, an enzyme belonging to sirtuins, has been effectively involved in the deacetylation of proteins. A tandem allosteric effect of reactant and product is responsible for the efficient deacetylation ...

Current demand for plastics and chemical raw materials is met through large-scale production of ethylene from fossil fuels. This makes it necessary to search for new, renewable processes. Using ...

Researchers have used artificial intelligence (AI) to design brand-new enzymes that can go through multi-step reactions, a key feature of natural enzymes. The structures they made accelerated a ...

Sam Pellock receives funding from the Washington Research Foundation and Schmidt Sciences. Enzymes are molecular machines that carry out the chemical reactions that sustain all life, an ability that ...

Scientists at MIT have turbocharged one of nature’s most sluggish but essential enzymes—rubisco—by applying a cutting-edge evolution technique in living cells. Normally prone to wasteful reactions ...
