In a publication selected as a "2007 Hot Article" by the journal Biochemistry, University at Buffalo chemists report the discovery of a central mechanism responsible for the action of the powerful ...

The structure of the membrane protein ICMT, shown in rainbow colors. This protein, an enzyme, attaches a methyl group onto other proteins such RAS (shown in grey) within a membrane (shown in blue).

Focusing on an enzyme in yeast, they demonstrated how contrasts in atomic scale motions impact their function. The method promises unprecedented access to the mechanisms by which biomolecules work, ...

A new study, published by a team of UBC Okanagan chemistry researchers, is creating a major rethink of how enzymes work. And how a quantum phenomenon helps an important enzyme control essential yet ...

WASHINGTON, D.C., May 10, 2016 - Enzymes play a crucial role in most biological processes--controlling energy transduction, as well as the transcription and translation of genetic information and ...

Drug molecules and biofuels can be made to order by living cell factories, where biological enzymes do the job. Now researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have developed a computer model ...

Healthy cells are constantly breaking down proteins and building up new ones with the help of enzymes aptly named unfoldases, because they unravel proteins tagged for destruction or recycling. Now, a ...

When people eat foods they love, sometimes those treats don’t love them back, causing digestive discomfort that has them reaching for a remedy. At times, that’s in the form of digestive enzyme ...

The best time to take digestive enzymes is usually within the first few bites of a meal, Dr. Bedford says. “You want the ...

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 ...
