Cytochrome P450 enzymes constitute a superfamily of haem-containing proteins that catalyse the oxidation of a wide range of exogenous and endogenous compounds. Their function is fundamental to the ...

All life on Earth is unified by its use of a shared set of component chemical compounds and reactions, providing a detailed model for universal biochemistry. However, this notion of universality is ...

Enzymes are the molecule factories in biological cells. However, which basic molecular building blocks they use to assemble target molecules is often unknown and difficult to measure. An international ...

Researchers have made a major breakthrough earlier this year in the field of evolutionary conservation of molecular dynamics in enzymes. Their work points to potential applications in health, ...

In this corner: the state-of-the-art enzyme function prediction tool … the Bioinformatic Brawler … the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool for proteins … BLASTp! And in this corner: the contender … the ...

A multi-enzyme platform is developed for sequence-unconstrained traceless protein synthesis and modification with either synthetic peptides or recombinant proteins, according to a new study out of ...

Usually enzyme complexes make multistep processes easier by catalyzing sequential reactions in which the product of one enzyme becomes the substrate for the next. In a new finding, researchers report ...

Using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM), the Kanazawa University team led by Mikihiro Shibata filmed the dynamic movements of CaMKII at the single-molecule level. The images revealed that a ...

A research team at Leibniz-HKI has described a new enzyme that renders the highly toxic molecule malleicyprol harmless.

Professor Nicolas Doucet and his team at Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) made a major breakthrough earlier this year in the field of evolutionary conservation of molecular ...
