Fluorescent markers are extremely useful in science as tools to track molecules or processes as they carry out their unique activities, revealing unknown facts along the way. However, physically ...

Controlled-release systems deliver medication and other bioactive compounds to the ideal spot inside a body and over a ...

The new approach can better target drugs and other bioactive compounds used to improve human and animal health.

New research could improve controlled-release systems used for probiotics that boost gut health, drugs that target cancer ...

Moreover, cellulose is the most inexpensive and readily available resource, but its application requires modifications owing to its low water solubility and deficiency of functional groups.

But the two systems have different carbohydrate-binding modules (the series of proteins in the enzyme that bind to the carbohydrates in the cellulose) and what are termed "linkers", in essence the ...

Carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) facilitate the formation and break down of complex carbohydrates and glycoconjugates. Studying them gives insight into the biological processes in which they ...
