Gifu University scientists have uncovered how a brain-specific enzyme reshapes protein-linked sugar chains to facilitate the ...

By resurrecting a 3.2-billion-year-old enzyme and studying it inside living microbes, researchers at the University of ...

When it comes to enzymes, protein abundance does not necessarily translate into protein activity: Post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation can dramatically alter enzyme function.

Engineered enzymes are poised to have transformative impacts across applications in energy, materials, biotechnology, and medicine. Recently, machine learning has emerged as a useful tool for enzyme ...

This week, the International Space Station is getting some new residents: Pseudomonas putida, a strain of plastic-eating bacteria. The microorganisms are going up into space as part of an experiment ...

A team of scientists has taken a closer look at the origins of cannabis chemistry by reconstructing enzymes from ancient ...

Enzymes are biological catalysts that facilitate biochemical transformations. An international team of bioinformatics researchers has developed a new process for predicting Michaelis constants, which ...

Microbes in our gut produce enzymes that help with our metabolism and influence our health. For example, bile salt hydrolases (BSHs) cleave parts of bile acids, leading to the formation of secondary ...

A new study finds enhanced activity of a specific enzyme drives spinocerebellar ataxia type 14, which suggests inhibiting the enzyme may have therapeutic potential. pinocerebellar ataxias are a group ...

Putting the brakes on an enzyme might rescue neurons that are dying due to a type of Parkinson's disease that's caused by a single genetic mutation, according to a new Stanford Medicine-led study ...
