UPTON, NY—Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory have produced the first atomic-level structure of an enzyme that selectively cuts carbon-hydrogen bonds—the first ...

Scientists studying a COVID-19 coronavirus enzyme at temperatures ranging from frosty to human-body warm discovered subtle structural shifts that offer clues about how the enzyme works. The findings ...

In a new study, scientists from the universities of Portsmouth and Manchester report that a specially engineered enzyme can ...

Gene editing is one of the latest breakthroughs in biology. The widely known CRISPR-Cas gene editing system provided prokaryotes (organisms that lack cell nuclei) an immunity against foreign DNA.

The structure of a key enzyme involved in protein production is revealed by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Using cryo-EM, researchers at Goethe University (Frankfurt, Germany) shed light on ...

Our reliance on these molecules is incredible.

While most enzymatic activity is conducted through chemical binding interactions between molecules, in some cases, the mere presence of an enzyme can affect intracellular functions. While exploring ...
