SCIENTISTS believe they are closer to finding a ?cure? for obesity after identifying a way of making the body burn more fat.

A switch that causes fat-burning enzymes to work three times as hard has been discovered.

Scientists believe the ability to control this ?on/off? switch could have massive implications for curing obesity-related diseases, such as cardiovascular disease or strokes, and even skin problems such as acne.

The discovery of the enzymatic ignition key contradicts previous ideas of how enzymes function.
