Many important medicines and agricultural compounds have origins in natural products made by microorganisms. One such ...

Researchers at the University of Bayreuth and Forschungszentrum Jülich have demonstrated that specific light-sensitive ...

Radical S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) enzymes represent a large and versatile superfamily that harnesses the chemical potential of a [4Fe-4S] cluster and SAM to generate highly reactive radicals. These ...

The heightened intrinsic activity resulting from loop confinement in enzymes arises synergistically from enthalpic and entropic contributions, which are contingent upon the extent of surface ...

Photodynamic therapy (PDT), characterized by its non-invasive nature and precise spatiotemporal selectivity, has garnered considerable attention for its applications in tumor and anti-infection ...

The enzyme PI3K plays a critical role in cell migration. Scientists have long understood this function. But researchers have recently unveiled that a subunit of this enzyme also has the ability to ...

When it comes to cardiovascular health, few supplements have sparked as much public interest — or confusion — as nattokinase.

A mechanism that could help scientists harness enzymes for use in drug discovery has been discovered in a research breakthrough at the University of Birmingham. In a study published in Science ...

Everyone has moments of forgetfulness from time to time, especially as we get older. But older adults don't just have difficulty remembering new information. They also have a harder time modifying ...

The very cells that created us may have a role in saving our lives. Scientists have always been amazed by the energy production system in a sperm’s tail. The system drives flagellar movement and is ...
