A successful collaboration involving a trio of research institutions has yielded a roadmap toward an economically viable process for using enzymes to recycle plastics.

The cysteine protease from the tobacco etch virus (TEVp) is a well-known and widely utilized enzyme. TEVp’s chymotrypsin-like fold is generally associated with serine catalytic triads that differ in ...

Similar hydrolysis curves have been reported for several protein substrates, such as peanut (Jamdar et al., 2010), Jatropha curcas seed cake (Selanon et al., 2014), rice protein (Li et al., 2016) and ...

The serine proteinase plasmin is the key fibrinolytic enzyme that dissolves blood clots and also promotes cell migration and tissue remodeling. Here, we report the 2.65 Å crystal structure of a ...

We show that diffusion of single urease enzyme molecules increases in the presence of urea in a concentration-dependent manner and calculate the force responsible for this increase. Urease diffusion ...
