Objective Physical activity (PA) is associated with a decreased incidence of dementia, but much of the evidence comes from short follow-ups prone to reverse causation. This meta-analysis investigates ...

Over the past decade or so, the notion of enzymes as biological catalysts has got complicated. Many experiments have produced evidence that something odd can happen to enzymes, ranging from urease to ...

Discover the science behind natural gardening in Homemade Plant Enzyme Experiment: Unexpected Growth Results—an exploration of how plant-based enzymes can impact soil health and plant growth. This ...

The key insight came from recognizing that the enzyme's behavior resembled a famous thought experiment known as Maxwell's demon, which describes an imaginary being that uses information about ...

Researchers show that enzymes with enhanced enzyme diffusion can function as Maxwell's demon by utilising information from past reactions to actively shift away from equilibrium and control the ...

As the temperature drops and winter sets in, many people feel the familiar signs of the season: chilly fingers, dry skin and that sluggish sensation that can creep in during colder months. But what is ...

Life has evolved over billions of years, adapting to the changing environment. Similarly, enzymes—proteins that speed up biochemical reactions (catalysis) in cells—have adapted to the habitats of ...
