New research provides insight into how an enzyme that helps regulate aging and other metabolic processes accesses our genetic material to modulate gene expression within the cell. A team led by Penn ...

An artist’s depiction of an artificially evolved enzyme breaking a silicon-carbon bond. [Caltech/Dow] For the first time, scientists have engineered an enzyme that can break the stubborn man-made ...

A growing body of research suggests that combining enzymes with biochar, a carbon-rich material made from agricultural and organic waste, could transform how scientists clean polluted water and soil.

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 ...
