Researchers have discovered a previously unknown enzyme that plays a crucial role in fat production. By blocking it, they stopped weight gain, reduced liver damage, and lowered harmful cholesterol ...

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

The inhibitor and substrate compete for the same binding site (or the active site) on the enzyme. The inhibitor decreases the enzyme’s capacity to bind the substrate, but this impact may be ...

In the world of biochemistry, knowing that a reaction is “fast” isn’t quite enough. To truly understand a biological catalyst, we need to know exactly how hard a single molecule of that enzyme is ...
