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 tool, ...

Gifu University scientists have uncovered how a brain-specific enzyme reshapes protein-linked sugar chains to facilitate the ...

Life has evolved over billions of years, adapting to the changing environment. Similarly, enzymes—proteins that speed up biochemical reactions (catalysis) in cells—have adapted to the habitats of ...

Macrolides are an important class of antibiotics that includes drugs such as azithromycin and erythromycin, which are widely ...

Enzymes help with specific functions that are vital to the operation and overall health of the human body. They help speed up chemical reactions and are essential for respiration, digestion, muscle ...

Malathy Palayam, Aleczander Young, Lior Tal, and Nitzan Shabek at the UC Davis Department of Plant Biology are exploring the mechanism by which the plant hormone strigoractone regulates a massive ...

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 ...
