Practically all biochemical processes involve enzymes that accelerate chemical reactions. A research team has now for the first time deciphered the molecular mechanism of the enzyme AsqJ. Their ...

It is well known in physics and chemistry that equal charges repel each other, while opposite charges attract. It was long assumed that this principle also applies when enzymes – the biological ...

Enzymes accelerate reactions by helping to lower the activation energy needed to start them. But how enzymes achieve this has been the subject of intense debate. A research team from Texas and China ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new structure determination method using nuclear magnetic ...

In the human body, proteins called enzymes help speed up chemical reactions that are vital for life. After you eat, enzymes help your body break down food and obtain energy. Enzymes are also ...

AN EXAMPLE OF the way enzymes accelerate reactions, which students have been reading about in textbooks for decades, is wrong and will have to be corrected, according to researchers who have obtained ...

Chemical reaction cascades have been generated in a cell using an artificial enzyme as a catalyst. Let there be light: An artificial metalloenzyme (blue) penetrates a mammalian cell, where it ...

Advances in cloud computing and artificial intelligence are driving breakthroughs for researchers in the fields of life sciences, biotech, and drug discovery. Enabled by artificial intelligence and ...

Researchers have homed in on an enzyme belonging to the glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) family as a promising target for increasing biofuel production from the red alga Cyanidioschyzon ...
