enzyme

Sperm cells, in turn, have some sort of enzyme payload that breaks down this barrier.

It has to be broken apart first, and the enzyme that does so is in the intestine.

To digest phytic acid, humans would need to evolve a whole new enzyme.

It takes a lot of this enzyme before the barrier is weakened enough for a sperm to gain access.

A friend of mine wanted to find the best design for a novel enzyme, and they actually brought in a guy as a consult.

PLA can be digested back into starch by an enzyme or composted at high temperature.

Kids with the disorder have a busted enzyme that causes slow degeneration of neurons.

It turns out that because the neurons in the brain are starved for this enzyme, they express receptors that allow them to take it up from the environment.

Cows, sheep, goats, and other non-humans produce various phytases, enzymes that digest phytic acid, but humans don't.

The team showed how modifying a certain kind of stem cell found in the body normally to have the correct copy of the enzyme cured several patients.

The corrected cells naturally move to the brain where they differentiate into glial cells and produce the correct copy of the enzyme.

He designed primers to make those mutations, does the molecular biology, checks the sequences, then does the biochemical experiment on the enzyme that's being mutated.

Actually, we're designing enzyme variations from first principles and previous literature report, without appealing to simulation or model, with quite a bit of success.

PCR allows you to amplify -- ie copy -- your sample by causing the DNA helix to split from heat, including a polymerase or enzyme that does the replication work, including spare dna bases, then cooling to cause the helixes to reform.
