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 ...

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

Scientists have reported the first successful human transplant of a kidney converted from blood type A to universal type O, ...

Researchers at Freiburg University discover new functions of the widely disseminated, yet little understood ENDOU enzyme. The family of ENDOU enzymes is found in most organisms, yet its functions are ...

While E. coli is one of the most studied organisms, the function of 30% of proteins that make up E. coli has not yet been clearly revealed. For this, an artificial intelligence was used to discover ...

A combination of cryogenic electron microscopy and molecular simulations has been used to study the structure and dynamics of an enzyme called ACE.

Life has evolved over billions of years, adapting to the changing environment. Similarly, enzymes—proteins that speed up biochemical reactions (catalysis) in cells—have adapted to the habitats of ...

Many enzymes have non-canonical or non-enzymatic functions. Therefore, these enzymes can still be functional when their activity is compromised, such as after inhibition with an active site inhibitor ...

Once thought of as having one simple job within cells, researchers continue to learn more about the importance of organelles called lysosomes. An organelle is a small structure in a cell that is ...

NEW ORLEANS — Abnormal blood lipids – such as alterations in total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides (TG), and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) – ...
