Welcome to Dr. Houston's Corner. I understand that the subject of "enzymes" can be intimidating to some. This section of the site is intended to educate the lay public on enzymes and their uses. Having spent the better portion of my life researching enzymes gives me a great appreciation for their power and usefulness. I hope to instill that same appreciation in you.
Finally rested up from the San Diego trip to Defeat Autism Now. The conference was very well attended by both attendees and vendors. Houston Enzymes had a great spot on the conference floor by the Autism Research Institute booth. It was great seeing the "regular" attenders, customers, and new faces as well.

Moisture, rivers, grass, forests: it was heaven to me and my siblings and is why I live in the Ozarks today. It was during […] Continue Reading…
When I was in graduate school, we had a professor who was rather strange. He was from India, very smart, spoke English well but would sometimes lapse into his own unique language.
