High-end microscopy reveals structure and function of crucial metabolic enzyme Date: August 28, 2019 Source: Institute of Science and Technology Austria Summary: The enzyme transhydrogenase plays ...

In the last 40 years, scientists have perfected ways to determine the knot-like structures of enzymes, but they've been stumped trying to translate the structure of enzymes into an understanding of ...

A new artificial intelligence tool can predict the functions of enzymes based on their amino acid sequences, even when the enzymes are unstudied or poorly understood. The researchers said the AI ...

Scientists studying a COVID-19 coronavirus enzyme at temperatures ranging from frosty to human-body warm discovered subtle structural shifts that offer clues about how the enzyme works. The ...

In explaining the importance of the database for research and science, Cantu and Nguyen said, “A commonality among scientists and engineers working on thioester-active enzymes is that they need ...

Lab tests show that the enzyme (a type of RNA ligase, which connects two RNA molecules) functions like natural enzymes although its structure looks very different and it is flexible rather than rigid.

For the first time, the structure of a DNA enzyme complex implicated in infertility and cancer has been obtained using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). A collaboration of researchers, led by ...

Acetolactate synthase, also known as acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS), is an enzyme involved in the branched chain amino acid biosynthesis pathway.

Oliveberg suggested that SOD1’s inclination toward aggregation is the result of an evolutionary tug-of-war between enzyme function and protein stability. “Like the long neck of a giraffe can sometimes ...
