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 ...

Nobody seemed to know for sure, but every once in a while someone in the discussion would float a suggestion that made ...

Hungry for a thick slice of banana bread, only to be stuck with a bunch of green bananas. In a perfect world, we'd simply ...

4. The optimum temperature for chemical reactions to take place in the body is 98.6 degrees F. Above 105 F many body enzymes become denatured and chemical reactions cannot take place leading to death.

The activities of enzymes are determined by their three-dimensional structure. Most enzymes can be denatured, which disrupt the three-dimensional structure of the protein. Denaturation may be ...

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 ...

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 ...

Rubisco is the enzyme responsible for carbon fixation in plants, algae and many bacteria. A screen of a comprehensive library of rubisco variants (each with a different single-amino-acid mutation ...
