Introduction Have you ever wondered how all the food that you eat gets digested? It is not only the acid in your stomach that breaks down your food—many little molecules in your body, called enzymes, ...

A Boston University–led research team has identified the structural underpinnings of a widely-known enzyme - acetoacetate decarboxylase (AADase) - that was first described correctly more than 43 years ...

All biological reactions within human cells depend on enzymes. Their power as catalysts enables biological reactions to occur usually in milliseconds. But how slowly would these reactions proceed ...

Enzymes help with specific functions that are vital to the operation and overall health of the body. They help speed up chemical reactions in the human body. They are essential for respiration, ...

The factors that affect enzyme catalysis (that is, enzyme activity) will definitely affect the rate of enzymatic reactions, but the factors that affect the rate of enzymatic reactions do not ...

Enzymes often elicit envy from organic chemists. Highly evolved by nature, these biocatalysts can carry out reactions with a selectivity that surpasses most synthetic catalysts. Yet they act on such a ...

When it comes to building molecules, proteins in our bodies often do a better job than even the best chemists in a lab. That’s why scientists are trying to harness their power to find new ways to make ...
