This revolutionary ingredient targets oil control, elasticity, and skin renewal—without compromising barrier health. NEW YORK, April 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Delavie Sciences, a trailblazer in ...

This produced a much higher rate of reactive enzymes (18 percent of them cleaved the ester bond), and two—named "super" and "win"—could actually cycle through multiple rounds of reactions.

Despite a reputation for being a promiscuous class of enzymes that indiscriminately digest or degrade proteins, many of the ~700 human proteases exhibit substantial substrate specificity. Thus, they ...

The “lock and key” model was first proposed in 1894. In this model, an enzyme’s active site is a specific shape, and only the substrate will fit into it, like a lock and key.

Molecular dynamics simulations provide an understanding of molecular interactions and give us a measure of the affinity as a function of environmental variables such as temperature. The simulation ...

Metabolic pathways are a series of chemical reactions inside a cell wherein the product of one reaction becomes the base material, or substrate, for the next reaction. A specific pathway of interest ...

After changing the substrate specificity of the chimera by lid swapping, we further optimized the catalytic center of the chimera by relying on the strategy of reducing the enzyme-substrate binding ...
