Ensemble map of protein structure. The team’s approach integrates different NMR data to create a map of how different parts of a molecular structure move. Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo ...
Scientists show enhanced enzyme diffusion after catalysis actively drives reactions away from equilibrium, offering a new ...
The following Q&A is an edited version of the podcast. What are enzymes and how they operate? Enzymes are the molecules in our bodies that facilitate reactions. They perform this function at their ...
A new artificial intelligence tool can predict the functions of enzymes based on their amino acid sequences, even when the enzymes are unstudied or poorly understood. Researchers said the AI tool, ...
Enzymes evolved to efficiently operate in low-temperature environments via key substitutions of amino acids in their active site, which lowers the activation energy of catalytic reactions. Life has ...
Living cells are sustained by countless chemical reactions that must be carefully regulated to maintain internal order and function. Enzymes play a ...
Many enzymes have non-canonical or non-enzymatic functions. Therefore, these enzymes can still be functional when their activity is compromised, such as after inhibition with an active site inhibitor ...
For much of nutrition science history, trace minerals were discussed almost exclusively in the context of deficiency diseases ...
Researchers have made a major breakthrough earlier this year in the field of evolutionary conservation of molecular dynamics in enzymes. Their work points to potential applications in health, ...
University of Delaware biochemist Jeff Mugridge is trying to figure out how so-called mRNA eraser enzymes work in our cells, why those erasers can sometimes misbehave and lead to cancer, and how ...
Te Herenga Waka — Victoria University of Wellington provides funding as a member of The Conversation NZ. Enzymes are biological nanomachines. They make almost all of life’s chemistry happen, when and ...
