Scientists have discovered an enzyme that could make popular drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy last longer and work faster — potentially supercharging diabetes and weight-loss treatments.

The enzyme called PapB works by “tying off” peptide drugs into tight ring shapes through a process called macrocyclization, making them tougher and more resistant to breaking down in the body, according to researchers at the University of Utah, who published their findings in ACS Publications .
