Thurmont plans to add filtration equipment to all three of its water treatment facilities to mitigate “forever chemicals” found in its wells, using forgivable loans from the state totaling more than ...

Most mutations that decreased antibiotic susceptibility were related to specific metabolic pathways. A MIC-increase to ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The link between gut microbiome and eating behaviours, especially palatable food intake, is a growing focus of scientific ...

Furin is identified as the key enzyme responsible for cleaving the apelin precursor. Inhibiting this cleavage could serve as ...

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 ...

Two antibodies recognising citrullinated proteins, two antibodies recognising peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD)2 enzyme and one recognising PAD4 enzyme were used. Results: Citrullinated proteins are ...

Elevated liver enzymes can occur for many reasons. Most often, elevated liver enzymes are temporary and resolve on their own without treatment. Occasionally, elevated liver enzymes require additional ...
