Abstract: Conductometry is a widely used technique in enzyme studies as it allows researchers to monitor the activity of enzymes in solution. The determination of enzymatic activity, a time-dependent ...

Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. Proteins that respond to external stimuli function as molecular switches, playing a vital role in the precise regulation of biological ...

Beneath the ocean’s surface, bacteria have evolved specialized enzymes that can digest PET plastic, the material used in bottles and clothes. Researchers at KAUST discovered that a unique molecular ...

Introduction: Soil enzymes are critical to plant growth and soil carbon turnover. However, the traditional method of assessing enzyme activity per unit of soil may be insufficient; instead, ...

In this mini review we examine how soil extracellular enzymes play a key role in nutrient cycling, but stress that their activity alone does not fully represent ecosystem processes. We emphasize the ...

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 ...

Article subjects are automatically applied from the ACS Subject Taxonomy and describe the scientific concepts and themes of the article. Directed evolution offers a complementary strategy by ...

The Neanderthal variant in AMPD1 decreases its enzymatic activity by 25% in lab-produced proteins and by up to 80% in the muscles of genetically engineered mice; the variant is found in all sequenced ...
