Led by Huimin Zhao, a professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at the U. of I., the team reported its findings in the journal Nature Communications. "Enzymes have been increasingly used in ...

A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has offered insight into how Staphylococcus ...

Enzymes are regarded as the key to sustainable chemistry. Despite major advances in protein design, creating artificial ...

Researchers have made a major breakthrough earlier this year in the field of evolutionary conservation of molecular dynamics in enzymes. Their work points to potential applications in health, ...

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 ...

In biology, enzymes have evolved over millions of years to drive chemical reactions. Scientists have now derived universal rules to enable the de novo design of optimal enzymes. As an example, they ...

Enzymes are amazing catalysts. These proteins are made of nothing more than a handful of Earth-abundant elements, and they promote a vast array of reactions, convert chemical energy to physical motion ...

Researchers have captured the first atomic-level views of human SMUG1, a key enzyme involved in repairing damaged DNA.

NUDT5 enzyme acts as a molecular scaffold that maintains metabolic balance. Inside every cell, a finely tuned metabolic network determines when to build, recycle or stop producing essential molecules.

Within the past decade, biologists have discovered that one strategy cells use to keep their contents organized is a phenomenon known as phase separation. Similar to the way oil forms droplets that ...
