Researchers studying how plants evolved the abilities to make natural chemicals, which they use to adapt to stress, have uncovered how an enzyme called chalcone isomerase evolved to enable plants to ...

Glucose Isomerase (GI), also known as xylose isomerase, is a remarkable enzyme that holds a critical place in modern industrial biotechnology. This enzyme is used extensively to convert glucose into ...

The true test of understanding a reaction is creating an enzyme from scratch to catalyze it. Biochemists at Duke University Medical Center now have shown that they can turn a protein having no ...

The bacterial membrane enzyme styrene oxide isomerase can convert toxic compounds into valuable materials. Selvapravin Kumaran, a doctoral student in Professor Dirk Tischler's Microbial Biotechnology ...

This paper demonstrates a previously undescribed defect of a glycolytic enzyme, triosephosphate isomerase, in the erythrocytes and leukocytes of a patient with congenital hemolytic anemia. The carrier ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 111, No. 52 (December 30, 2014), pp. 18454-18459 (6 pages) Enzymes use protein architectures to create highly ...
