A couple of years ago, scientists discovered an enzyme in a waste recycling center in Japan that digests plastic. During a recent experiment to understand how this enzyme works, scientists ...

Researchers demonstrate the implementation of a remote laboratory activity to teach students about enzyme kinetics. The COVID-19 pandemic forced teachers across the globe to embrace remote learning.

The COVID-19 pandemic forced teachers across the globe to embrace remote learning. Although adapting existing materials was relatively easy for lecture-based courses that revolved around theory, ...

Scientists from the University of Portsmouth and the University of Manchester say they have developed a fusion enzyme that ...

Researchers at Stanford University have developed a new tool they say dramatically speeds up the study of enzymes. The new tool allows thousands of very small experiments to run simultaneously on a ...

WHICH FRUITS CAN RUIN YOUR GELATIN DESSERT? Why are some fruits not recommended for adding to gelatin? Here is a basic science fair project for investigating enzymes that prevent gelatin from ...
