Enzymes that are found inside the cells are responsible for various tasks. They are building blocks of muscles; destroy toxins and breaks down food into particles for proper digestion. Shape of an ...

Researchers from the Cluster of Excellence Balance of the Microverse at the University of Jena and the Leibniz-HKI, together ...

In the early 20th century, humans discovered vitamins, and then trace elements and minerals. It was only in the mid-1980s that humans realized the importance of enzymes. Nobel Prize in Physiology and ...

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, ...

Enzyme, early refers to "in yeast", refers to a biological catalyst produced by living cells in the organism. Most are composed of protein (a few are RNA), which can efficiently catalyze various ...

The protein community is awash in data. As of October, the UniProt database of protein sequences had more than 44 million entries. UniProt serves as a clearinghouse for sequences. Researchers who ...

Here we describe a high-throughput, quantitative method for the isolation of enzymes with novel substrate specificities from large libraries of protein variants. Protein variants are displayed on the ...

In addition to their canonical roles in glycolysis, recent studies gradually uncovered some non-metabolic functions of glycolytic enzymes in tumorigenesis (Table 1), providing important insights into ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new structure determination method using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy which shows how different parts of complex ...
