In the case of PLD3 and PLD4, the substrate is a strand of RNA or DNA, which the enzymes break down nucleotide by nucleotide. The team used X-ray crystallography to build atomic-scale models of ...

About 98% of lignin created as a forestry by-product from plants is discarded, but a new enzyme could be the key to ...

That’s why she and her group teamed up with machine-learning-for-chemistry expert Gabe Gomes and his group at Carnegie Mellon ...

“We’ve been able to generate tens of thousands of plastic-eating enzymes in our lab that are unique,” he says, explaining that after querying the AI models to yield promising candidates they ...

Different enzymes contain up to 20 different amino acids linked together to form a chain which then folds into the globular enzyme shape. Enzymes have active sites which only match specific ...

Yet the enzymes in the digestive fluid that fills the carnivorous plants’ vase-shape modified leaves might one day provide a service to the animal kingdom, by enabling human celiac disease patients to ...
