Enzymes are substances in the body that cause and speed up crucial chemical reactions. Enzymes’ function is to help trigger bodily processes ranging from digestion to blood clotting to growth. There ...

Enzymes are proteins that guide (catalyze) very specific chemical reactions. They play indispensable roles in all life forms. Some enzymes carry out the day-to-day business of biology like digesting ...

A popular experiment that's recommended to demonstrate the functionality of enzymes is chewing a piece of bread for a moment, then paying attention to when it turns from a starchy flavor to begin ...

How do enzymes cause tremendous increases in reaction rates? Learn how a group of enzymes called the serine proteases work. Aa Aa Aa A pile of sugar or a bottle of olive oil can sit unchanged for ...

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

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 ...

Scientists have developed a novel approach to modifying enzymes to improve functionality. They designed a new algorithm to make multiple changes to an enzyme sequence at once as compared to the ...

We have investigated the prediction of protein interactions through the analysis of domain fusion to assess whether metabolic enzymes have a higher participation in gene-fusion events compared with ...

In drug development, the term “modality” refers to the category of therapeutic based on its chemical or biological nature. Small molecules are the most established modality, known for their chemical ...

By targeting a newly uncovered weakness in prostate cancer cells, this could offer an improved treatment for the disease.
