Medically reviewed by Allison Herries, RDN Manganese is a trace mineral, meaning your body needs it in smaller amounts than vitamins and major minerals. The body requires manganese for immune function ...

A passion for novel chemistry and experimental surprises has led Perry Frey through 40 years of inspiring enzymology research. When Perry Frey attended a lecture by Robert Abeles about cofactor ...

XoZymes replaces traditional chemical production methods with an approach that integrates widely available feedstocks like sugar and biomass with advanced enzymes engineered to thrive outside living ...

Engineered enzymes are poised to have transformative impacts across applications in energy, materials, biotechnology, and medicine. Recently, machine learning has emerged as a useful tool for ...

Enzyme mechanisms are the chemical transformations, and the steps within them, generated by enzymatic action on substrates. The mechanism of enzyme catalysis is similar in principle to other types ...

It is a unique member of the plastic family as it can be broken down into its constituent units (or monomers) by PETases, which are enzymes that degrade PET. Until now, scientists have discovered ...

Papaya enzyme supplements, a popular natural remedy, are recognized for their role in aiding digestion and providing various other health benefits. Containing an enzyme called papain, papaya ...

Nanozymes are nanomaterials with intrinsic enzyme-like properties. They can specifically catalyze substrates of natural enzymes under physiological condition with similar catalytic mechanism and ...

Figure 1. Vitamin B1 and B2-mediated immunometabolism in B cell differentiation in the intestine. Vitamin B1 acts as a cofactor for enzymes such as pyruvate dehydrogenase and α-ketoglutarate ...

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 ...
