Researchers have developed a new material that harnesses the power of enzymes more effectively. These materials have improved the reaction efficiency and long-term stability of enzymes in ...

BOT or NOT? This special series explores the evolving relationship between humans and machines, examining the ways that robots, artificial intelligence and automation are impacting our work and lives.

Researchers at Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) demonstrate an enzyme-based biosensor in the form of an electrospun polymer mesh that can detect volatile organic compounds, which may help ...

Redox enzymes are proteins that catalyze oxidation-reduction reactions, which involve the transfer of electrons between ...

ANN ARBOR, Mich.—Research aimed at teasing apart the workings of RNA enzymes eventually may lead to ways of monitoring fat metabolism and might even assist in the search for signs of life on Mars, ...

Protein stability affects the physiological functions of proteins and is also a desirable trait in many protein engineering tasks, yet improving protein stability is challenging because of limitations ...

Scientists have found that the activity of proprotein covertases, the enzymes that turn-on proteins, is regulated by the location of the enzyme inside the cell. The study uses a novel biosensor, CLIP, ...

A biosensor is a device that has the potential to detect a particular substance or analyte with high specificity. Examples of such analytes include glucose, lactate, glutamate and glutamine. Most ...

Biosensor technology can detect a biological event by the production of a measurable signal. The process of detection combines a recognition element for a type of biomolecule or chemical reaction with ...

All the discovery and translational biomedical research depend primarily on antibody-based technologies for small-molecule and protein analyte detection. These technologies have three limitations, as ...

Sucrose is a vital energy source in plants. It also drives growth and serves as an important signaling molecule during stress and development. Sucrose is a key product of photosynthesis and the ...
