In the early 20th century, humans discovered vitamins, and then trace elements and minerals. It was only in the mid-1980s that humans realized the importance of enzymes. Nobel Prize in Physiology and ...

Enzymes are substances in the body that cause and speed up crucial chemical reactions. Enzymes’ function is to help trigger bodily processes ranging from digestion to blood clotting to growth. There ...

Scientists have reported the first successful human transplant of a kidney converted from blood type A to universal type O, ...

The first successful human transplant of a kidney converted from blood type A to universal type O used special enzymes ...

Researchers at Freiburg University discover new functions of the widely disseminated, yet little understood ENDOU enzyme. The family of ENDOU enzymes is found in most organisms, yet its functions are ...

A combination of cryogenic electron microscopy and molecular simulations has been used to study the structure and dynamics of an enzyme called ACE.

Life has evolved over billions of years, adapting to the changing environment. Similarly, enzymes—proteins that speed up biochemical reactions (catalysis) in cells—have adapted to the habitats of ...

An enzyme could open a window into how the brain regulates metabolism, but studies about weight loss in mice don’t translate directly to humans. YOSHIKAZU TSUNO AFP/Getty Images Seems the body fights ...
