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 ...

A new study, published by a team of UBC Okanagan chemistry researchers, is creating a major rethink of how enzymes work. And how a quantum phenomenon helps an important enzyme control essential yet ...

Enzymes are the molecular machines that power life; they build and break down molecules, copy DNA, digest food, and drive ...

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 ...

Enzymes help digest food, clean laundry, make perfumes, and build medicines. They also break down toxins in the environment. Because of their wide use, scientists have worked for years to create ...

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 ...

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 ...

Editor’s note: This week’s Deep Dive feature focuses on human enzyme research. RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK – It’s the biggest National Institutes of Health grant in Appalachian State University’s history, ...

Scientists have uncovered how cannabis evolved the ability to make its most famous compounds—THC, CBD, and CBC—by recreating ...

Focusing on an enzyme in yeast, they demonstrated how contrasts in atomic scale motions impact their function. The method promises unprecedented access to the mechanisms by which biomolecules work, ...
