Scientists have been exploring how an enzyme from Mucor hiemalis, known as Endo-M, can stitch together sugar clusters on cyclodextrins. This enzyme is particularly interested in sugars attached to β-cyclodextrin, which are tiny, donut-shaped molecules. The game changes when these cyclodextrins have

These diseases hide inside our cells, showing only tiny parts of themselves called peptides on the surface. Scientists have struggled to target these peptides because our immune system can get confused
Imagine you have two mirror images of a molecule that are identical in every way, except for being reflections of each other. These are called enantiomers. Separating them has been a long-standing challenge, especially since they're crucial in biological systems. Scientists recently discovered that
