Dextranase enzymes, a subset of glycoside hydrolases, catalyse the hydrolysis of dextran polymers into smaller oligosaccharides, thus playing a pivotal role in numerous industrial and biomedical ...

Nitrilases are a unique class of enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis of nitrile compounds to yield the corresponding carboxylic acids or amides. Their application in biotransformation processes has ...

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.

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. They are essential for life, as they play a crucial role in various biological processes, such as digestion, ...

The first successful human transplant of a kidney converted from blood type A to universal type O used special enzymes developed at the University of British Columbia to help prevent a mismatch and ...

Reporting in Science, researchers at UC Santa Barbara, UCSF and the University of Pittsburgh have developed a new workflow for designing enzymes from scratch, paving the way toward more efficient, ...

From vaccines and diagnostics to emerging gene-based therapies, RNA molecules are now central to modern medicine. But as their use continues to grow, so does a fundamental challenge: producing RNA ...

Frances Arnold's game-changing technique of "directed evolution" creates enzymes with unusual capabilities. Her own evolution made it possible.

Completion of these development activities represents a contractual milestone under the parties’ 2023 development and commercialization agreement focused on non-animal dairy enzymes produced using ...
