Kanazawa University, have captured real-time images showing how a key brain enzyme organizes itself to help memory formation. Their study, published in Nature Communications, reveals that the enzyme ...

Annotations of enzyme function provide critical starting points for generating and testing biological hypotheses, but the quality of functional annotations is hindered by uncertain assignments for ...

UPTON, NY - Scientists have long thought that individual enzymes have specific, single jobs dependent on their molecular shape. According to this premise, enzymes could only evolve to perform new ...

A research team at Leibniz-HKI has described a new enzyme that renders the highly toxic molecule malleicyprol harmless.

In this corner: the state-of-the-art enzyme function prediction tool … the Bioinformatic Brawler … the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool for proteins … BLASTp! And in this corner: the contender … the ...

Scientists have identified a small flaw in the enzyme GPX4 that prevents neurons from defending themselves. This mutation, ...

Characteristics of Enzymes: Enzymes are proteins and the properties and characteristics they exhibit reflect properties of protein. They are organic catalysts that speed up biological reactions ...

Patients with lupus are at increased risk of heart disease. Exposing endothelial cells -- known to protect against heart disease, in part by producing nitric oxide -- to the serum of patients with ...

Scientists have discovered a new function in a plant enzyme that could inspire the design of new chemical catalysts. The enzyme catalyzes, or initiates, one of the cornerstone chemical reactions ...

A multi-enzyme platform is developed for sequence-unconstrained traceless protein synthesis and modification with either synthetic peptides or recombinant proteins, according to a new study out of ...

People exercise for all kinds of reasons, but a couple of common reasons are to burn off some fat and to increase the limits of their physical performance. Newly published research from scientists at ...
