Study reveals how an RNA enzyme drives the postnatal switch from glucose to fatty acids in heart cells, highlighting ketogenesis as essential for metabolism. Study: The tRNA methyltransferase Mettl1 ...

Today's nearly $70 billion U.S. biofuels economy is powered by two technology toolboxes. Biochemical technologies—used to produce around 17 billion gallons of ethanol annually—leverage microorganisms ...

Earth’s immense web of life fill three broad domains—archaea, bacteria, and eukarya. Scientists from Monash University recently discovered hydrogen-producing enzymes in archaea, which were thought to ...

Forward-looking: A recently discovered enzyme could pave the way for a completely new type of clean energy source. Found in common bacteria, the compound can essentially turn a tiny amount of gas into ...

Using energy from light to activate natural enzymes can help scientists create new-to-nature enzymatic reactions that support eco-friendly biomanufacturing — the production of fuels, plastics, and ...

Cancer cells have an insatiable appetite for energy as they multiply more rapidly than normal cells. Greedy cancer cells hijack various cellular functions to find and exploit energy and other ...

The global transition to a hydrogen-based clean energy economy faces a critical bottleneck: current proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells and water electrolyzers rely almost exclusively on scarce ...

The field of microbial enzyme research is rapidly evolving as biotechnology and industrial processes increasingly depend on the exploitation of microbial ...

Cold-adapted enzymes, commonly derived from psychrophilic microorganisms, exhibit remarkable catalytic efficiency at low temperatures due to their enhanced flexibility and reduced stability at higher ...

A research team analyzed the regulatory mechanisms of carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzyme production in Aspergillus aculeatus, a filamentous fungus that produces enzymes with an excellent ability to ...
