How does your body speed up these important reactions? The answer is enzymes. Enzymes in our bodies are catalysts that speed up reactions by helping to lower the activation energy needed to start a ...

A deeper look into the apparent self-defense mechanisms of these bacteriophage-resistant bacteria revealed their secret weapon: a group of enzymes called restriction endonucleases, or restriction ...

Enzymes lower the activation energy necessary to transform a reactant into a product. On the left is a reaction that is not catalyzed by an enzyme (red), and on the right is one that is (green).

Enzymes are also involved in the building up of chemical molecules elsewhere in the body. In an organism, the active site of each enzyme is a different shape. It is a perfect match to the shape of ...

After all, there's a reason acid is sometimes considered one of the basic elements of flavor along with fat ... Their primary component isn't (usually) acid — it's sugar, which contains natural ...
