Researchers found previously unknown compounds in roasted coffee that strongly blocked alpha glucosidase, a digestive enzyme linked to post meal blood sugar spikes. In lab tests, three compounds ...

UB researchers have identified for the first time an enzyme in the foxglove plant that is responsible for the production of compounds needed to make the heart failure drug digoxin. The breakthrough ...

Enzymes are the molecular machines that power life; they build and break down molecules, copy DNA, digest food, and drive ...

Just because an enzyme has an active site doesn’t mean the rest of the enzyme should be disregarded, as though it were so much dead weight. It influences enzyme function, if only by keeping the enzyme ...

Enzymes are crucial for speeding up slow chemical reactions. Anyone who has worked in a genetics lab is familiar with a common enzyme called Taq polymerase, because it's a reliable workhorse that can ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — By combining artificial intelligence with automated robotics and synthetic biology, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have dramatically improved performance ...

Artificial enzymes can fight the COVID-causing virus by selectively snipping apart its RNA genome, a new study suggests. Researchers say the technique may overcome key problems with previous ...

Roasted coffee may do more than wake you up—it could help control blood sugar. Researchers discovered several new coffee ...
