Alpha-glucosidases are a diverse class of enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis of α-d-glucosidic linkages at the non-reducing ends of substrates, thereby releasing α-glucose. These enzymes are ...

Biological cells invest much of their resources into the production of enzymes, which catalyze the conversion of substrates into products. An international team of bioinformaticians and biophysicists ...

A new artificial intelligence-powered tool can help researchers determine how well an enzyme fits with a desired target, helping them find the best enzyme and substrate combination for applications ...

Researchers have crystallized the enzyme that makes the natural product stevia taste 200 times as sweet as sugar. The enzyme is a uridine diphosphate–dependent glucosyltransferase, UGT76G1, and it ...

Enzymes are the molecule factories in biological cells. However, which basic molecular building blocks they use to assemble target molecules is often unknown and difficult to measure. An international ...

Efficient utilisation of abundant renewable sugars and aromatic chemicals by natural or recombinant microorganisms is a key prerequisite for the economic viability of biotechnological valorisation of ...

Enzymology is the study of enzymes and enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Enzymes are biological catalysts that accelerate the rate of biological reactions. They can also perform multiple reactions ...

All living things depend on millions of chemical reactions that happen constantly. Chemical reactions that keep you alive happen fast! When you eat food, breathe, play, and grow, all of these are ...

Researchers at the University created an artificial intelligence model named EZSpecificity to test how well certain enzymes and substrates bind to each other. Huimin Zhao and Diwakar Shukla, ...
