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, ...

Researchers at the University of Bayreuth and Forschungszentrum Jülich have demonstrated that specific light-sensitive ...

Enzymes are regarded as the key to sustainable chemistry. Despite major advances in protein design, creating artificial ...

A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has offered insight into how Staphylococcus ...

Proline catabolism is a central metabolic pathway that converts the amino acid proline into glutamate, thereby linking amino acid turnover, redox balance and energy production. In bacteria and ...

SANTA CRUZ, CA — Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have determined the three-dimensional structure of an RNA enzyme, or “ribozyme,” that carries out a fundamental reaction ...

Researchers have made a significant advance toward the goal of using bacteria—rather than fossil fuels—to produce ethylene, a key chemical in the production of many plastics. In a new study, ...

After nearly four decades of research, Mayo Clinic scientists have revealed the molecular structures of protein kinase C beta ...

Cancer cells have an insatiable appetite for energy as they multiply more rapidly than normal cells. Greedy cancer cells hijack various cellular functions to find and exploit energy and other ...

While most enzymatic activity is conducted through chemical binding interactions between molecules, in some cases, the mere presence of an enzyme can affect intracellular functions. While exploring ...
