Scientists discovered a key protein, MigC, that helps a dangerous superbug, *A. baumannii*, build its protective outer layer ...

Oxidoreductases are key enzymes in biocatalysis, but their dependence on the cofactor nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide ...

These fundamental findings offer a novel mechanism by which rubrerythrin tubules encapsulate encapsulin to prevent oxidative stress in Pyrococcus furiosus. However, there are a few reasonable concerns ...

Liver enzymes help the liver perform these functions by speeding up chemical reactions. Elevated liver enzymes happen when there are higher-than-normal levels of liver enzymes in your blood.

Researchers have developed a new workflow for designing enzymes from scratch, paving the way toward more efficient, powerful and environmentally benign chemistry. The new method allows designers ...

This review explores the mechanisms by which antioxidant-enzyme interactions regulate oxidative stress and their implications for managing NCDs. Antioxidants mitigate oxidative damage through ...

Crafting enzymes is more difficult than designing other proteins because it requires not just predicting the structure of a single protein conformation, but of changes in conformations as enzymes ...

Enzymes are amazing catalysts. These proteins are made of nothing more than a handful of Earth-abundant elements, and they promote a vast array of reactions, convert chemical energy to physical ...

Using a series of more than 1,000 X-ray snapshots of the shapeshifting of enzymes in action, researchers at Stanford University have illuminated one of the great mysteries of life—how enzymes ...

Sam Pellock receives funding from the Washington Research Foundation and Schmidt Sciences. Enzymes are molecular machines that carry out the chemical reactions that sustain all life, an ability ...

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 ...

This enzyme could be transformative for industry, it not only speeds up a crucial class of chemical transformation, but does so with remarkable precision, even when working with challenging chemical ...
