From the 1950s to 1970s, discovery of enzymes began by identifying new chemical reactions within cell-free extracts, but ...

Enzymatic biofuel cells can act as self-powered wearable biosensors by converting chemicals in body fluids into electricity; ...

A research group at the University of Lausanne (Unil) has identified a new mechanism that exposes the vulnerability of tumor ...

Researchers have been studying tens of thousands of proteins and even more variations without a yardstick to compare their results.

A single type of chemical structure that shows up again and again in modern medicine is the amide bond that links a carbonyl group (C=O) to a nitrogen atom. They're so ubiquitous that 117 of the top ...

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 ...

Chinese AI startup DeepSeek on Tuesday released a research paper and open-sourced its latest optical character recognition (OCR) model, DeepSeek-OCR 2, aiming to improve how machines interpret and ...

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) forms the bridge between the analog world of paper and the world of machines. The modern-day expectation is that when we point a smartphone camera at some ...

NUDT5 enzyme acts as a molecular scaffold that maintains metabolic balance. Inside every cell, a finely tuned metabolic network determines when to build, recycle or stop producing essential molecules.

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 ...

"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 ...
