Researchers have uncovered a surprising way the brain switches pain on, revealing that neurons can release an enzyme outside the cell that activates pain signals without disrupting normal movement or ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers from Drexel University’s College of Arts and Sciences and College of Medicine have found a potential new therapeutic target for Alzheimer’s disease. Expanding on their previous research on ...

ABSTRACT: Cytochrome P450 (CYP450) is a family of heme proteins capable of self-oxidation and is a type of monooxygenase. It was first discovered in the microsomes of liver cells and is distributed ...

Scientists at MIT have turbocharged one of nature’s most sluggish but essential enzymes—rubisco—by applying a cutting-edge evolution technique in living cells. Normally prone to wasteful reactions ...

In a breakthrough study, scientists found that silencing a single overactive enzyme in the brain reversed early damage caused by a Parkinson’s-related mutation in mice. The treatment restored the ...
