The plastic used in the experiment is made from long-chain molecules derived from plant oils.

Current demand for plastics and chemical raw materials is met through large-scale production of ethylene from fossil fuels. This makes it necessary to search for new, renewable processes. Using ...

AI enzyme simulation achieves quantum accuracy: MoleculeMind published QuantaMind research in Science Advances on September 14, 2026, becoming first peer-reviewed AI platform to simulate a complete ...

Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have produced the first atomic-level structure of an enzyme that selectively cuts carbon-hydrogen bonds—the first and most ...

Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have determined the three-dimensional structure of an RNA enzyme, or “ribozyme,” that carries out a fundamental reaction required to make new ...

Researchers engineered an enzyme that can attack polyurethane shoe foam, one of the hardest plastics to recycle.

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 ...

Researchers have made a major breakthrough earlier this year in the field of evolutionary conservation of molecular dynamics in enzymes. Their work points to potential applications in health, ...

Enzymes emerged before the last universal common ancestor, making comparative genetic analyses insufficient to understand the earliest stages of ...
