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.

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 new technology is poised to transform the discovery of microbial species and enzymes with specific in situ metabolic functions. The technology, FISH-scRACS-seq (Fluorescence In Situ ...

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 ...

Known for revolutionizing the use of enzyme-based technology in the baking industry, the company’s founders — Barry Clayton, Gary Newman, Duane Waltos and Greg Worthington — are being recognized for ...

Living cells are sustained by countless chemical reactions that must be carefully regulated to maintain internal order and ...

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 ...

Enzymes with specific functions are becoming increasingly important in industry, medicine and environmental protection. For example, they make it possible to synthesise chemicals in a more ...

Consumer demand for sustainable, enzyme-based laundry detergents is increasing, according to new research from GlobalData.

Enzymatic biofuel cells can act as self-powered wearable biosensors by converting chemicals in body fluids into electricity; ...

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, ...

Dextranase enzymes, a subset of glycoside hydrolases, catalyse the hydrolysis of dextran polymers into smaller oligosaccharides, thus playing a pivotal role in numerous industrial and biomedical ...
