In biology, a group of enzymes called 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenases is responsible for catalyzing a wide range of ...

A new study shows that sugar-based chemical interactions, rather than molecular crowding size, help the glycolytic enzyme ...

Cells must produce energy despite changing conditions. But what keeps metabolic enzymes functional during temperature ...

Molecular dynamics simulations of pyrimidine-nucleoside phosphorylase from Bacillus subtilis show that the enzyme's ...

Ultrafast X-rays reveal how enzymes make penicillin and process oxygen, exposing molecular steps that could guide future ...

Researchers have discovered how acids on the surface of bacteria give these microscopic organisms their characteristic "rod" shape—by keeping an enzyme at bay that would otherwise turn the cylindrical ...

A cell sitting in fluid looks like one of the most passive things in biology. Nutrients drift toward it on the aimless ...

Researchers demonstrate the implementation of a remote laboratory activity to teach students about enzyme kinetics. The COVID-19 pandemic forced teachers across the globe to embrace remote learning.

Just because an enzyme has an active site doesn’t mean the rest of the enzyme should be disregarded, as though it were so much dead weight. It influences enzyme function, if only by keeping the enzyme ...

The enzyme system sits in bacteriophage DNA beside a long array of repeats, and Anthropic does not yet know what it does. It is the first result from Anthropic's new biology lab. Anthropic says Claude ...

Researchers from Kumamoto University in Japan have used comprehensive genetic analysis to find that the enzyme NSD2, which is known to regulate the actions of many genes, also works to block cell ...
