Enzymes are substances in the body that cause and speed up crucial chemical reactions. Enzymes’ function is to help trigger bodily processes ranging from digestion to blood clotting to growth.

Standardized descriptors of function can be given at the biochemical level (as in the Enzyme Commission (E.C.) classification), the process or pathway level (as in the KEGG and BioCyc databases ...

Catalase has an optimum pH of 9 and a working range of between pH 7-11. Most other enzymes function within a working pH range of about pH 5-9 with neutral pH 7 being the optimum.

A new ML-guided platform can design thousands of new enzymes, predict how they will behave in the real world, and test their performance.

Enzymes are crucial to life. They are nature's little catalysts. In the gut, they help us digest food. They can enhance perfumes or get laundry cleaner with less energy. Enzymes also make potent drugs ...
