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

Enzymes are the molecular machines that power life; they build and break down molecules, copy DNA, digest food, and drive virtually every chemical reaction in our cells. For decades, scientists have ...

The Michaelis-Menten equation is used to describe the dynamics of an enzymatic reaction, in which an enzyme interacts with a substrate to generate some product before the enzyme is released. Cells are ...

Chemical reaction cascades have been generated in a cell using an artificial enzyme as a catalyst. Let there be light: An artificial metalloenzyme (blue) penetrates a mammalian cell, where it ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — By combining artificial intelligence with automated robotics and synthetic biology, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have dramatically improved performance ...

By resurrecting a 3.2-billion-year-old enzyme and studying it inside living microbes, researchers at the University of ...
