Amano Enzyme has developed a new enzyme that improves the solubility of proteins at lower pH levels, helping manufacturers develop fruity protein shakes and other beverages without some of the ...

This article describes a simple method to determine the optimum pH for the activity of one enzyme in a coupled enzyme assay. Decoupling of the two-step reaction is achieved by heat denaturing the ...

Life just got more difficult for those fighting antibiotic-resistant superbugs. Researchers at McGill University have ...

In an organism, the active site of each enzyme is a different shape. It is a perfect match to the shape of the substrate molecule, or molecules. This is essential to the enzyme being able to work. One ...

A study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society has recreated in the laboratory chemical reactions that may have occurred on Earth about four billion years ago, producing the first ...

Different enzymes contain up to 20 different amino acids linked together to form a chain which then folds into the globular enzyme shape. Enzymes have active sites which only match specific substrates ...

The pH of the human body lies in a tight range between 7.35-7.45, and any minor alterations from this range can have severe implications. Although the pH of blood ranges from 7.35-7.45, the pH of ...
