An enzyme-based treatment developed by Yale researchers mitigated autoimmunity and reduced death rates in both genetic and non-genetic mouse lupus models, a new study reveals. The findings, which were ...

Enzymes are crucial for speeding up slow chemical reactions. Anyone who has worked in a genetics lab is familiar with a common enzyme called Taq polymerase, because it's a reliable workhorse that can ...

Just because an enzyme has an active site doesn’t mean the rest of the enzyme should be disregarded, as though it were so much dead weight. It influences enzyme function, if only by keeping the enzyme ...

Many Americans were surprised to learn that roughly 90 percent of cheese contains a lab-made enzyme developed by Pfizer, and it does not have to be labeled. The ingredient, known as ...
