For the first time, researchers have successfully used computational simulations to modify an enzyme’s structure to increase the optimum temperature of a reaction. Researchers at Uppsala University ...

Enzymes evolved to efficiently operate in low-temperature environments via key substitutions of amino acids in their active site, which lowers the activation energy of catalytic reactions. Life has ...

Gudeta, B. (2025) Comparative Study of Rhodanese Specific Activity Assay Techniques for Plants and Bacterial Species.

Scientists studying a COVID-19 coronavirus enzyme at temperatures ranging from frosty to human-body warm discovered subtle structural shifts that offer clues about how the enzyme works. The findings ...

Pectinase, a key enzyme widely used in food processing (e.g., juice clarification), still requires improvements in industrial stability and catalytic ...

This accurate thermosensation relies on the precise maintenance of thermal receptor functions; however, their activation and regulatory mechanisms have remained unclear. In a new study, researchers ...

Researchers have captured real-time "molecular movies" showing how an enzyme changes shape during catalysis. The study was ...
