Enzymes Quotes

You can now become energy independent by making your own gasoline from corn, water and enzymes for only 12 cents per gallon. - Kevin Ryan

We reproduced the observations from humans in animals in order to identify the mechanism for the hyperbaric oxygen effect. We found that hyperbaric oxygen mobilizes stem/progenitor cells because it increases synthesis of a molecule called nitric oxide in the bone marrow. This synthesis is thought to trigger enzymes that mediate stem/progenitor cell release. - Stephen Thom

That's not all our crops can do. We are also learning how to transform plants into factories. We can now raise plants that will create enzymes that would otherwise be created in chemical factories. - Thomas Carper

People have this remarkable difference in enzymes that defend their health from pesticide exposure. In developing regulatory standards for safe levels of exposure, we need to protect the most sensitive in a population, particularly because children and unborn fetuses are involved. - Nina Holland

Our ultimate goal is to be able to put as much chemistry as we can into microbes. We can use microbes to do a lot of complicated chemistry, and the way in which this will be done is through the use of enzymes. One can imagine where you could take a series of promiscuous enzymes that would make different parts of a molecular compound, and combine them to obtain a final product that could do whatever you needed it to do. - Jay Keasling

Most enzymes start off with a promiscuous function. These promiscuous enzymes can do many different things. - Yasuo Yoshikuni
