After a long search, RIKEN researchers have identified an enzyme crucial for keeping lipid-linked sugar chains in check in ...

A team of biochemists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, has developed a faster way to identify molecules in the ...

Nitrogen, upon which all life on Earth depends, may hold the key for explaining how early life on the planet evolved and how it could evolve on other planets. "All living organisms need nitrogen to ...

Abstract: Conductometry is a widely used technique in enzyme studies as it allows researchers to monitor the activity of enzymes in solution. The determination of enzymatic activity, a time-dependent ...

Researchers discovered that a tiny structural feature of the enzyme GPX4 helps keep neurons safe. A rare mutation removes this protection, allowing harmful molecules to damage cell membranes and ...

What’s scarier, a world with ghosts or a world without them? I pondered this question on the drive downtown to see “Paranormal Activity,” a stage play based on the Paramount Pictures movie franchise ...

Introduction: Soil enzymes are critical to plant growth and soil carbon turnover. However, the traditional method of assessing enzyme activity per unit of soil may be insufficient; instead, ...

In this mini review we examine how soil extracellular enzymes play a key role in nutrient cycling, but stress that their activity alone does not fully represent ecosystem processes. We emphasize the ...
