Enzymes help with specific functions that are vital to the operation and overall health of the body. They help speed up chemical reactions in the human body. They are essential for respiration, ...

A new artificial intelligence tool can predict the functions of enzymes based on their amino acid sequences, even when the enzymes are unstudied or poorly understood. Researchers said the AI tool, ...

An enzyme is a type of protein found within a cell. Enzymes create chemical reactions in the body, and can actually speed up the rate of a chemical reaction to help support life. Enzymes are produced ...

The function of the glycolytic enzyme hexokinase 1 differs depending on its location within the cell, according to a Northwestern Medicine study published in Molecular Cell. The enzyme uses different ...

It has been known in biology for a long time that the excited oxygen molecule singlet oxygen is the main cause of aging in cells. To counter this, nature uses an enzyme called superoxide dismutase to ...

Chemists at Umeå University have succeeded in mapping structures and functions of a transient enzyme state. By modifying the enzyme adenylate kinase, researchers were able to isolate the molecule and ...

Research led by University of Limerick (UL) scientists, which has just been published in Nature, claims to have detected the complex structure of a unique enzyme found in all living cells. The ...

By fusing enzyme fragments to antibodies, researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo, in Japan, developed an innovative enzyme switch called "Switchbody," which is activated when bound to its ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 109, No. 52 (December 26, 2012), pp. 21408-21413 (6 pages) In principle, evolutionary outcomes could be largely ...

Researchers analyzed the role of NUDT5 and its interaction with other proteins in the folate pathway and in regulating purine synthesis.
