Everyone’s chasing “glass” (read: nearly poreless, because pores don’t actually disappear, despite what you’ve been told) skin that’s smooth, reflective, and impossibly even. What’s often left out of ...

Enzymes speed up chemical reactions in your body, such as digestion. Not having enough of a specific enzyme can lead to health problems, sometimes serious. Eating a healthy diet helps support your ...

Although the chemical processes necessary to support life—from breaking down food to copying DNA—would ordinarily take years or even centuries to complete, life functions on a timescale measured in ...

Liver enzymes can fluctuate due to factors like hormonal changes or reactions to medications. Fluctuations are often temporary, but long-term changes may indicate a condition that requires medical ...

"There are three digestive enzymes made by your pancreas," says Mary Vouyiouklis Kellis, MD, a specialist in the department of endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism at the Cleveland Clinic. "Most ...

Imagine trying to bake a cake without heat. You’ve got all the ingredients like flour, eggs and sugar, but nothing is happening. That’s what your body would be like without enzymes: potential but no ...

Researchers have developed a new workflow for designing enzymes from scratch, paving the way toward more efficient, powerful and environmentally benign chemistry. The new method allows designers to ...

Enzymes are amazing catalysts. These proteins are made of nothing more than a handful of Earth-abundant elements, and they promote a vast array of reactions, convert chemical energy to physical motion ...

Engineered enzymes are poised to have transformative impacts across applications in energy, materials, biotechnology, and medicine. Recently, machine learning has emerged as a useful tool for enzyme ...
