Enzyme mechanisms of catalysis play many important roles in the functioning of a healthy body. An enzyme may exist as a multi-subunit complex or it may be associated with a cofactor such as adenosine ...

Enzymes are essential for life and are one of the most important types of protein in the human body. Studying enzyme kinetics provides information about the diverse range of reactions in the human ...

Peroxidases are enzymes that break down hydrogen peroxide in organisms. Since their discovery in 1998, the electron source of ...

A new artificial intelligence-powered tool can help researchers determine how well an enzyme fits with a desired target, ...

Biological cells invest much of their resources into the production of enzymes, which catalyze the conversion of substrates into products. An international team of bioinformaticians and biophysicists ...

Conjugation and deconjugation of ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins (Ubls) to cellular proteins are highly regulated processes integral to cellular homeostasis. Most often, the C-termini of these ...

Two-step nanocage: Individual enzymes (orange and green) are first attached to half-cage structures. Half cages are then assembled into full cages, where reactants are brought into close proximity.

Using artificial intelligence, researchers show how γ-secretase recognizes substrates - an important advance for fundamental and translational research. The γ-secretase enzyme is capable of cleaving ...

The Royal Society is a self-governing Fellowship of many of the world's most distinguished scientists drawn from all areas of science, engineering and medicine, and is the oldest scientific academy in ...
