Researchers have developed a highly efficient and reusable biocatalyst with promising applications in the food and cosmetics industries. The international team, co-led by Newcastle University, ...

Enzymes are proteins that guide (catalyze) very specific chemical reactions. They play indispensable roles in all life forms. Some enzymes carry out the day-to-day business of biology like digesting ...

A growing body of research suggests that combining enzymes with biochar, a carbon-rich material made from agricultural and organic waste, could transform how scientists clean polluted water and soil.

Cornell researchers have developed a powerful new biosensor that reveals, in unprecedented detail, how and where kinases—enzymes that control nearly all cellular processes—turn on and off inside ...

To make advances in using microbes to sustainably produce materials, it is necessary to find new molecular tools, or enzymes—but this is labor intensive. A Kobe University team has developed a ...

Cascade Biocatalysts, a biomanufacturing company catalyzing green chemistry, raised an oversubscribed $2.6 M pre-seed led by Ten VC with participation from Amplify.LA, Boost VC, Range Ventures, ...

The first successful human transplant of a kidney converted from blood type A to universal type O used special enzymes developed at the University of British Columbia to help prevent a mismatch and ...

As bakery markets evolve under the pressure of efficiency, waste reduction and changing consumer expectations, freshness is emerging more and more as a strategic differentiator. From retail shelves to ...

Microbial pectinolytic enzymes encompass a suite of biocatalysts, chiefly polygalacturonases, pectate lyases and pectin methylesterases, that cleave and de-esterify the complex pectic polysaccharides ...
