Enzymes that are found inside the cells are responsible for various tasks. They are building blocks of muscles; destroy toxins and breaks down food into particles for proper digestion. Shape of an ...

One of these enzymes from white blood cells, known as MMP12, does not remain outside of cells while it fights infections, but rather it can travel all the way to the center of cells. Understanding how ...

A new artificial intelligence tool can predict the functions of enzymes based on their amino acid sequences, even when the enzymes are unstudied or poorly understood. Researchers said the AI tool, ...

Enzyme, early refers to "in yeast", refers to a biological catalyst produced by living cells in the organism. Most are composed of protein (a few are RNA), which can efficiently catalyze various ...

UPTON, NY - Scientists have long thought that individual enzymes have specific, single jobs dependent on their molecular shape. According to this premise, enzymes could only evolve to perform new ...

In addition to their canonical roles in glycolysis, recent studies gradually uncovered some non-metabolic functions of glycolytic enzymes in tumorigenesis (Table 1), providing important insights into ...

Chemists at Umeå University have succeeded in mapping structures and functions of a transient enzyme state. By modifying the enzyme adenylate kinase, researchers were able to isolate the molecule and ...

Here we describe a high-throughput, quantitative method for the isolation of enzymes with novel substrate specificities from large libraries of protein variants. Protein variants are displayed on the ...
