In addition, the researchers think that their test substrate will also play a role in studying how this enzyme works together with others to separate the different components of wood.

Enzymes help speed up chemical reactions in the body. ... This inhibitor binds to the enzyme and substrate. The products leave the active site less easily, which slows the reaction.

For the past 30 years, scientists have been on a mission to unlock the secrets of how plants defend themselves. That journey ...

The special feature of our ESP ("Enzyme Substrate Prediction") model is that we are not limited to individual, special enzymes and others closely related to them, as was the case with previous models.

Zhao mentions that the substrate for this enzyme is not ʟ-tryptophan but 5-bromo-ʟ-tryptophan. He would want to find out if ʟ-tryptophan could substitute for 5-bromo-ʟ-tryptophan, he says.

Scientists at The University of Texas at Arlington have identified a new enzyme that can be “turned off” to help the body ...

Ado is originally an oxidase enzyme that adds an oxygen atom to the substrate -- isoeugenol. In its native state, it does not have the ability to convert ferulic acid into vanillin.
