The adrenaline test for enzymes is a colorimetric enzyme assay based on the quantification of periodate-sensitive reaction products such as 1,2-diols and 1,2-aminoalcohols by back-titration of the ...

For the first time, researchers have successfully used computational simulations to modify an enzyme’s structure to increase the optimum temperature of a reaction. Researchers at Uppsala University ...

Enzymes evolved to efficiently operate in low-temperature environments via key substitutions of amino acids in their active site, which lowers the activation energy of catalytic reactions. Life has ...

UPTON, NY—Scientists studying a COVID-19 coronavirus enzyme at temperatures ranging from frosty to human-body warm discovered subtle structural shifts that offer clues about how the enzyme works. The ...

Enzymes are a very important class of biocatalysts. Due to the action of the enzyme, the chemical reaction in the living body can be carried out efficiently and specifically under extremely mild ...

Enzymes from cold-loving organisms that live at low temperatures, close to the freezing point of water, display highly distinctive properties. Scientists have now used large-scale computations to ...

This investigation tests how well the enzyme amylase performs at different pH values. Amylase is a carbohydrase enzyme made by the pancreas and by glands in and around the mouth and throat. It helps ...

This accurate thermosensation relies on the precise maintenance of thermal receptor functions; however, their activation and regulatory mechanisms have remained unclear. In a new study, researchers ...
