Enzymes are substances in the body that cause and speed up crucial chemical reactions. Enzymes’ function is to help trigger ...

While E. coli is one of the most studied organisms, the function of 30% of proteins that make up E. coli has not yet been clearly revealed. For this, an artificial intelligence was used to discover ...

Enzymes that cut DNA at specific sites are called endonucleases; these enzymes play many roles in genomic replication, fidelity, and defense. The initial discovery of restriction endonucleases in the ...

Scientists have revealed a never-before-seen phenomenon in a protein: Alone, the enzyme processes DNA and RNA but, when bound to another protein as part of a defense system, interacts with a ...

Way back when, digestive issues were a thing many people kept under wraps. Now, it’s become increasingly clear that a lot of people suffer from digestive problems like bloating, constipation, diarrhea ...

OGT's job of glycosylation is so important that embryonic cells will die without it. But until now, scientists were in the dark as to why. Researchers at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have ...

University of Delaware biochemist Jeff Mugridge is trying to figure out how so-called mRNA eraser enzymes work in our cells, why those erasers can sometimes misbehave and lead to cancer, and how ...

A new study published in the journal Nature Catalysis on February 10, 2020, reports the creation of a new artificial enzyme from two components, both non-biological in origin. This event marks the ...
