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 are ...

Researchers have captured real-time "molecular movies" showing how an enzyme changes shape during catalysis. The study was ...

A team has used neutron crystallography to image all of the atoms in a radical intermediate of a copper amine oxidase enzyme. They disclosed previously unknown details, such as precise conformational ...

Obesity is one of the major causes of mortality as well as morbidity. It’s a global epidemic that increases the risk for many ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have identified a type of enzyme with a complicated name. Cell migration ...

The latest short science news items from C&EN. The team proposes that SAM plays a dual role in the reaction. It donates a methyl group to the enzyme’s cobalamin cofactor and then serves as a base when ...
