An enzyme is a type of protein found within a cell. Enzymes create chemical reactions in the body, and can actually speed up the rate of a chemical reaction to help support life. Enzymes are produced ...

MECHANISTIC ENZYMOLOGY has traditionally focused on step-by-step explanations of the way enzymes do their jobs. To a large degree it still does, and there's nothing wrong with that. Such studies are ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — A new artificial intelligence tool can predict the functions of enzymes based on their amino acid sequences, even when the enzymes are unstudied or poorly understood. The researchers ...
