Deep in your muscles, an enzyme called AMPD1 helps turn chemical fuel into usable energy. When it does not work well, muscles tire faster.

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

Natural UV-protective compounds from algae are revealing unexpected biological activities. Scientists have found that certain natural compounds produced by algae and cyanobacteria may offer benefits ...

Researchers found that paired pathogenic variants can restore protein function rather than make it worse. This phenomenon ...

Macrolides are an important class of antibiotics that includes drugs such as azithromycin and erythromycin, which are widely used to treat a range of infections, including pneumonia and skin ...

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 ...

Scientists at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, have captured real-time images showing how a key brain enzyme organizes itself to help memory formation. Their study, ...

While most enzymatic activity is conducted through chemical binding interactions between molecules, in some cases, the mere presence of an enzyme can affect intracellular functions. While exploring ...
