Scientists have engineered an enzyme which can digest some of our most commonly polluting plastics, providing a potential solution to one of the world’s biggest environmental problems.

Scientists in Britain and the United States say they have engineered a plastic-eating enzyme that could in future help in the fight against pollution. The enzyme is able to digest polyethylene tere… ...

In a process called biopolishing, enzymes are used to extend the lifetime of fabrics. Until now, the enzyme technology process has only worked on cotton. But now with the launch of a new enzyme ...

New enzyme configurations are being discovered using machine learning, which can identify optimal molecular structures for maximum effect. This technology is rapidly being adopted.
