Chronic pain affects more than 50 million Americans, yet for decades, treatment options for pain that persists in the absence ...

A team of scientists has taken a closer look at the origins of cannabis chemistry by reconstructing enzymes from ancient ...

Scientists have uncovered how cannabis evolved the ability to make its most famous compounds—THC, CBD, and CBC—by recreating ...

Roasted coffee may do more than wake you up—it could help control blood sugar. Researchers discovered several new coffee ...

An enzyme-based treatment developed by Yale researchers mitigated autoimmunity and reduced death rates in both genetic and non-genetic mouse lupus models, a new study reveals. The findings, which were ...

Enzymes are the molecular machines that power life; they build and break down molecules, copy DNA, digest food, and drive ...

UB researchers have identified for the first time an enzyme in the foxglove plant that is responsible for the production of compounds needed to make the heart failure drug digoxin. The breakthrough ...

Just because an enzyme has an active site doesn’t mean the rest of the enzyme should be disregarded, as though it were so much dead weight. It influences enzyme function, if only by keeping the enzyme ...

Enzymes are crucial for speeding up slow chemical reactions. Anyone who has worked in a genetics lab is familiar with a common enzyme called Taq polymerase, because it's a reliable workhorse that can ...

Researchers found previously unknown compounds in roasted coffee that strongly blocked alpha glucosidase, a digestive enzyme linked to post meal blood sugar spikes. In lab tests, three compounds ...
