Enzymes are crucial to life. They are nature's little catalysts. In the gut, they help us digest food. They can enhance ...

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have developed a new material that harnesses the power of enzymes more effectively.

A new ML-guided platform can design thousands of new enzymes, predict how they will behave in the real world, and test their ...

Researchers from the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology and the Department of Chemistry at The University of Manchester ...

How does your body speed up these important reactions? The answer is enzymes. Enzymes in our bodies are catalysts that speed up reactions by helping to lower the activation energy needed to start a ...

However, the initial enzyme and process would not be sufficient to support large scale synthesis. To improve the synthesis, we engaged in enzyme evolution, enzyme immobilization, and flow chemistry.

Some key areas of focus include: Enzyme engineering: Designing and modifying enzymes to improve their stability, specificity, and catalytic efficiency. Immobilized enzymes: Attaching enzymes to solid ...

“In all cases, newly generated enzyme variants demonstrated improved amide bond formation. Taken together, our work highlights both the versatility of McbA to be directed to catalyze many unique ...

“We can now do all that on a computer,” he adds. “Rather than having to run 10,000 chemical reactions to iteratively improve enzyme activity, we can use machine learning models to predict ...
