A popular experiment that's recommended to demonstrate the functionality of enzymes is chewing a piece of bread for a moment, then paying attention to when it turns from a starchy flavor to begin ...

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 ...

This causes the formation of more enzyme-substrate complexes, leading to an increase in enzyme activity. This means the active site loses its important shape and can no longer form enzyme ...

pH is a measure of how acidic or alkaline a solution is. The diagram below shows what happens to an enzyme when denaturation occurs. Each enzyme has an optimum pH but it also has a working range ...

Through an enrichment-encapsulating approach, researchers created novel sunflower-like structured alginate lyase (Aly)-NaNdF ...

Zhijian “James” Chen, a biochemist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, was awarded the 2024 Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award for the discovery of the cGAS enzyme that ...
