Predicting how atherosclerosis, osteoporosis or cancer will progress or respond to drugs in individual patients is difficult. In a new study, researchers took another step toward that goal by developing a technique able to predict from a blood sample the amount of cathepsins - protein-degrading...
Enzyme levels in the blood routinely monitored by physicians as liver function indicators are also the best predictor of liver cancer risk for the general population, a team of scientists in Taiwan and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center reports today in the Journal of the National...
Researchers from the University of Kentucky have designed and discovered a series of highly efficient enzymes that effectively metabolize cocaine. These high-activity cocaine-metabolizing enzymes could potentially prevent cocaine from producing physiological effects, and could aid in the...

I have to give a five minute presentation on some biology topic relating in some way to enzymes, but that does not just describe what an enzyme is/does.
IM going to try them for acid reflux to prevent the constant liquid from coming up my throat.. 1) did the enzyme work? 2) if so how long did it take? 3) did you get an upset stomach?
