Deep in our cells, a wide range of processes are occurring constantly. These cellular processes rely on enzymes to act as catalysts and set off a series of molecular interactions. There are still many ...

A new study shows exercise releases a liver enzyme that repairs aging brain blood vessels and restores memory in mice.

A UCSF team finds a liver protein, released with exercise, that improves memory in aging and Alzheimer’s disease by repairing ...

A protein reinforces the blood–brain barrier, which becomes leaky with age. Exercise prevents brain ageing and memory loss by strengthening the blood–brain barrier, the structure that keeps harmful ...

Life has evolved over billions of years, adapting to the changing environment. Similarly, enzymes—proteins that speed up biochemical reactions (catalysis) in cells—have adapted to the habitats of ...

A multi-enzyme platform is developed for sequence-unconstrained traceless protein synthesis and modification with either synthetic peptides or recombinant proteins, according to a new study out of ...

In neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, proteins accumulate in the body's cells, fold incorrectly and clump together to form larger aggregates. Normally, cells are able to ...

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 ...

Inspired by the simple mechanism of a seesaw—when one side goes up, the other side goes down—researchers asked an intriguing ...

Scientists have developed a novel approach to modifying enzymes to improve functionality. They designed a new algorithm to make multiple changes to an enzyme sequence at once as compared to the ...

Landfills are overflowing with plastic trash. Serial inventor Jonathan Rothberg’s Protein Evolution found a solution: using AI to create enzymes that can recycle old polyester textiles into a material ...
