Drug molecules and biofuels can be made to order by living cell factories, where biological enzymes do the job. Now researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have developed a computer model ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new structure determination method using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy which shows how different parts of complex ...

WASHINGTON, D.C., May 10, 2016 - Enzymes play a crucial role in most biological processes--controlling energy transduction, as well as the transcription and translation of genetic information and ...

In a publication selected as a "2007 Hot Article" by the journal Biochemistry, UB chemists report the discovery of a central mechanism responsible for the action of the powerful biological catalysts ...

Drug molecules and biofuels can be made to order by living cell factories, where biological enzymes do the job. Now researchers have developed a computer model that can predict how fast enzymes work, ...

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 ...

Figuring out how a protein or enzyme works, and understanding how genetic mutations affect these molecules that are fundamental to life, can often take years. Researchers must alter hundreds of the ...

Healthy cells are constantly breaking down proteins and building up new ones with the help of enzymes aptly named unfoldases, because they unravel proteins tagged for destruction or recycling. Now, a ...

Deep within the world's oceans lurk marine bacteria armed with plastic-munching enzymes, their evolution seemingly sculpted ...

A Yale-led team of chemists has unveiled the blueprints for a key enzyme that may contain design principles for a new generation of synthetic solar fuel catalysts. The research, led by Yale’s Gary ...

Grapefruit juice is more than a breakfast staple — it’s a potent enzyme inhibitor that can dramatically alter how certain drugs are metabolized. This article explores how a tiny structural difference ...
