- Can this new enzyme turn back the clock in the human body?
Scientists developed an enzyme that removes advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) from human tissue, potentially reversing age-related damage even after these compounds have accumulated in the body.
- STAT+: Drug metabolism AI competition results show that bigger may not always be better
A drug metabolism AI competition highlights that larger AI models may not always be superior, focusing on solving drug development challenges like predicting activation of the pregnane X receptor (PXR), which regulates an enzyme breaking down 50% of marketed drugs. Reliable AI prediction of PXR activation could address issues like rapid drug elimination and drug–drug interactions.
- How common bacteria fasten their armour
A study published in Nature identifies an enzyme that enables certain microorganisms to attach their outer membrane to their cell wall. The research, released online on May 29, 2026, provides insights into bacterial structural mechanisms.
- Scientists discover enzyme that could supercharge Ozempic
Scientists have discovered an enzyme that converts fragile drug molecules into durable ring shapes, potentially enhancing the effectiveness and longevity of medications like Ozempic. The method is simpler and more precise than traditional approaches, offering promise for stronger, longer-lasting treatments.
