A faster COVID diagnostic test with two CRISPR enzymes

DNA tales August 11, 2021August 10, 2021

Sayak Banerjee, Amity University Kolkata In this current spread of outbreaks, specifically with the emergence of more transmissible variants, frequent rapid testing for COVID-19 is a vital requirement. For that purpose, qRT-PCR (quantitative reverse-transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction), the gold standard COVID-19 diagnostic test, is employed these days. This method generally entails specialized equipment, a centralized laboratory facility, […]

Enzyme activity studied under new lens!

bioxone August 2, 2021August 1, 2021

Shenade Annie Kerketta, Amity University Kolkata The knowledge that we have about how an enzyme works is through studying its ACTIVE SITE. New technology has been developed that gives us information about an enzyme by studying beyond the active site. The new technology is called HIGH THROUGHPUT MICROFLUIDIC ENZYME KINETICS (HT-MEK). This technology combines two […]

THE NEW NORMAL HUMAN BODY TEMPERATURE

DNA tales June 27, 2021June 26, 2021 1

Diya Adhikary, Amity University Kolkata Normal body temperature plays a vital role in not only detecting illnesses or diseases but also in all the biochemical reactions taking place inside the body as these reactions cannot tolerate wide temperature fluctuations. Enzymes play a major role in various chemical reactions by acting as catalysts, helping in the […]

Catalytic Triads Unlocked – Chemists Discover New Tool to Catalyse Enzymatic Reactions

bioxone December 17, 2020December 16, 2020 1

Sumedha Guha, Techno India University Every enzyme family has a set of amino acids that are highly conserved in that specific enzyme family. Better known as catalytic triads, these are a set of three amino acid residues found in the active site of the enzymes which serve as a signature of the type of chemistry […]

Hypsibius exemplaris: a tardigrade as an emerging model for mitochondrial enzyme analysis

bioxone December 16, 2020December 16, 2020 1

Ayooshi Mitra, Amity University, Kolkata Mitochondrial alternative oxidase (AOX) is an enzyme that forms an integral part of the electron transport chain (ETS) in mitochondria. This enzyme is present in the mitochondria of many invertebrates. The expression of AOX in human mitochondria is regarded as a potential therapeutic strategy, regardless of the reason for the […]

Catalase: Antioxidant Treatment for COVID-19

-Thota Kanishka Rao, Amity University Kolkata Researchers have discovered that a drug, Catalase, might be the solution to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Catalase is a naturally occurring enzyme having the potential as a therapeutic drug treat COVID-19 symptom and suppress the replication of the virus inside the body. Catalase is produced naturally and employed by […]
