A research team at Leibniz-HKI has described a new enzyme that renders the highly toxic molecule malleicyprol harmless.

UPTON, NY - Scientists have long thought that individual enzymes have specific, single jobs dependent on their molecular shape. According to this premise, enzymes could only evolve to perform new ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in ...

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 ...

For years, ETH researchers have been investigating a molecular complex that plays a key role in protein synthesis. They have ...

Enzymes are the molecule factories in biological cells. However, which basic molecular building blocks they use to assemble target molecules is often unknown and difficult to measure. An international ...

Scientists have found a novel way of monitoring individual enzymes as they chomp through fat. The method offers far greater insight into how enzymes function and opens up the possibility of tailoring ...

A multi-enzyme platform is developed for sequence-unconstrained traceless protein synthesis and modification with either synthetic peptides or recombinant proteins, according to a new study out of ...

Medically reviewed by Qin Rao, MDKey TakeawaysElevated liver enzymes are usually temporary and can resolve by ...

A subtle flaw in a single brain enzyme now looks like one of the earliest sparks that can set dementia in motion. Instead of ...

Scientists have discovered a new function in a plant enzyme that could inspire the design of new chemical catalysts. The enzyme catalyzes, or initiates, one of the cornerstone chemical reactions ...
