Enzymes are involved in virtually every biological process that occurs throughout the body. This includes but is not limited ...

During photosynthesis, an enzyme called rubisco catalyzes a key reaction - the incorporation of carbon dioxide into organic ...

Enzymes are molecular machines that carry out the chemical reactions that sustain all life, an ability that has captured the ...

To build proteins, cells rely on a molecule called transfer RNA, or tRNA. tRNAs act like protein-building couriers, where ...

New research shows that inhibiting overactive LRRK2 enzymes could stabilize Parkinson's disease progression, with Stanford ...

To build proteins, cells rely on a molecule called transfer RNA, or tRNA. tRNAs act like protein-building couriers, where ...

Leiden researchers have discovered an enzyme that helps bacteria feed on everyday plastics. This common enzyme could play a crucial role in future ...

A new study from Stanford Medicine has found that stopping an overactive enzyme in the brain might help protect and even ...

Each enzyme molecule has a special place called the active site where another molecule, called the substrate, fits. The substrate goes through a chemical reaction and changes into a new molecule ...

By shutting down a hyperactive enzyme, scientists got damaged brain cells to regrow their lost “antennae” and restart ...

Then, they created enzymes designed to make nine small-molecule drugs. The results were striking. In some cases, the new enzymes worked 42 times better than the original ones.
