Scientists discovered that alcohol activates a sugar-producing pathway in the body, creating fructose that may reinforce addictive drinking. The enzyme responsible, KHK, appears to drive both alcohol ...

The importance of a healthy gut for overall well-being cannot be overstated, made evident by the rising popularity of digestive enzyme supplements. These supplements include a critical mix of enzymes ...

Enzymes are proteins that guide (catalyze) very specific chemical reactions. They play indispensable roles in all life forms. Some enzymes carry out the day-to-day business of biology like digesting ...

Liver enzymes can fluctuate due to factors like hormonal changes or reactions to medications. Fluctuations are often temporary, but long-term changes may indicate a condition that requires medical ...

Papaya enzyme supplements, a popular natural remedy, are recognized for their role in aiding digestion and providing various other health benefits. Containing an enzyme called papain, papaya assists ...

Most people believe they eat enough fiber, but research shows at least 9 out of 10 don’t. That means 90% of Americans are falling short on a key part of a diet that protects against a range of ...

Enzymes are amazing catalysts. These proteins are made of nothing more than a handful of Earth-abundant elements, and they promote a vast array of reactions, convert chemical energy to physical motion ...

It is a truth universally acknowledged in chemical synthesis that a molecule in posession of multiple stereocenters must be difficult to make. But the combined abilities of biochemistry and radical ...

Using directed evolution, scientists have created the first enzyme known to break a silicon-carbon bond. The finding could be a preliminary step toward biodegrading volatile methyl siloxanes—chemicals ...

Abstract: This study explores the use of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to classify enzyme functions using the ENZYMES dataset, which represents proteins and their interactions as graphs. The literature ...
