Kanazawa University, have captured real-time images showing how a key brain enzyme organizes itself to help memory formation.

In neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, proteins accumulate in the body's cells, fold incorrectly and clump together to form larger aggregates. Normally, cells are able to ...

Researchers have identified a new function of a well-known enzyme: the signal peptidase complex is responsible for the quality control of membrane proteins. The discovery of this new function for a ...

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 ...

Scientists have developed a novel approach to modifying enzymes to improve functionality. They designed a new algorithm to make multiple changes to an enzyme sequence at once as compared to the ...

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 ...

Enzymes are the molecular machines that power life; they build and break down molecules, copy DNA, digest food, and drive ...

To build proteins, cells rely on a molecule called transfer RNA, or tRNA. tRNAs act like protein-building couriers, where they read the genetic instructions from messenger RNA, mRNA, and deliver the ...
