Enzymes are molecular machines that carry out the chemical reactions that sustain all life, an ability that has captured the attention of scientists like me. Consider muscle movement. Your body ...

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 ...

Researchers have used artificial intelligence (AI) to design brand-new enzymes that can go through multi-step reactions, a key feature of natural enzymes. The structures they made accelerated a ...

“Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions under mild conditions, outperforming what even the best human chemists can do,” said Baker, who shared the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry ...

Enzymes catalyze nearly all of the chemical reactions that occur in biological systems. Enzymes are generally proteins but also include catalytic DNA and catalytic RNA. As effective biological ...

Creating a video presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint is an effective way to share your ideas in a professional and accessible format. Whether you’re preparing for a virtual meeting, an online ...

Following injury, many organs are capable of rapid regeneration of necrotic tissue to regain normal function. In contrast, ...

This week marks the fifth anniversary of the pandemic. What are your most lasting memories? How has it shaped your life and the world around you? By Jeremy Engle Have you been paying attention ...

Algorithms that constrain metabolic network models with enzyme levels to predict metabolic activity assume that changes in enzyme levels are indicative of flux variations. However, metabolic flux can ...

In this study, we unveil a common mechanism underlying these observations for the DNA-scaffolded enzymes that acts on enzymes independent of their catalytic mechanisms. By testing a variety of ...

In this work, we investigate how proton transport and membrane potential regulate pH dynamics in an autocatalytic enzyme reaction within lipid vesicles. Combining experimental and numerical methods, ...
