Ensemble map of protein structure. The team’s approach integrates different NMR data to create a map of how different parts of a molecular structure move. Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo ...

Fitting a key into a lock may seem like a simple task, but researchers are using a method that involves testing thousands of keys to unlock the functions of enzymes, and their findings could open the ...

Synthetic biology is a growing field of research that is aiming to create a new kind of organism. Engineering synthetic proteins that can perform simple cellular functions as they would in real life ...

University of Delaware biochemist Jeff Mugridge is trying to figure out how so-called mRNA eraser enzymes work in our cells, why those erasers can sometimes misbehave and lead to cancer, and how ...

UTA biochemists are mapping the function of specific enzymes which may facilitate development of new drugs to fight bacterial infection, cancer and potentially neurodegenerative diseases like autism, ...

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 ...

Cytochrome P450 enzymes constitute a superfamily of haem-containing proteins that catalyse the oxidation of a wide range of exogenous and endogenous compounds. Their function is fundamental to the ...

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

In a new study, researchers have discovered how an enzyme that plays a key role in cancer development functions. The researchers hope the new knowledge will lead to the design of more precise drugs.

Annotations of enzyme function provide critical starting points for generating and testing biological hypotheses, but the quality of functional annotations is hindered by uncertain assignments for ...

As the world’s population increases and squeezes limited resources, everyone will have to do more with less – and one tool that can help with this is enzymes, such as those made by Novozymes. At IFT’s ...
