Nano-enabled products are ultimately destined to reach end-of-life with an important fraction undergoing thermal degradation through waste incineration or accidental fires. Although previous studies ...

Enhancing the thermostability of enzymes without impacting their catalytic function represents an important yet challenging goal in protein engineering and biocatalysis. We recently introduced a novel ...

Over a matter of hours and days, as enzymes break down cells and proteins, the brain begins to lose its form. The rippling structures that give a brain its typical look lose their shapes and ...

Clean energy revolution: Scientists unveil enzyme shaped by nature that could supercharge global biofuel efficiency The discovery came from soil samples hidden beneath sugarcane bagasse, the ...
