One enzyme has a key role in determining whether parrots’ rainbow plumage emerges in vibrant reds, yellows or greens, a new study shows. Parrot feathers flaunt an array of colors, with yellow ...

Enzymes are biological molecules that play a crucial role in various biochemical reactions within living organisms. They act as catalysts, which means they speed up the rate of chemical reactions ...

The most abundant enzyme on Earth, rubisco, has been providing the energy which fuels life on our planet for the last three billion years. While rubisco fixes billions of tons of CO 2 each year, the ...

“Enzyme coffee” is regular coffee with added ingredients, such as digestive enzymes and green tea. Some people claim it promotes well-being or weight loss. However, no research proves this ...

Enzymes are catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions in living systems. They reduce the energy required for chemical reactions to occur and act like a team of experts in construction projects ...

The enzyme, which has been named Huc, is used by the bacterium Mycobacterium smegmatis to draw energy from atmospheric hydrogen, enabling it to survive in extreme, nutrient-poor environments.

A team of scientists, including 'enzyme engineer' Marco Fraaije from the University of Groningen, has now developed an enzyme that can put a lignin monomer to use in chemical synthesis.

The enzyme does a "circular process" of breaking down the plastic into smaller bits (depolymerization) and then chemically puts them back together (repolymerization) in as little as 24 hours.

An enzyme that can help release phosphorus from its organic forms has been identified in a study from the University of Sheffield’s Institute for Sustainable Food, published in leading science journal ...
