Enzymes are molecular machines that carry out the chemical reactions that sustain all life, an ability that has captured the attention of scientists like me. Consider muscle movement. Your body ...

The arrangement of atoms in an enzyme molecule has been worked out for the first time. The enzyme is lysozyme, which breaks open cells of bacteria. The study has also shown how lysozyme performs ...

Life has evolved over billions of years, adapting to the changing environment. Similarly, enzymes—proteins that speed up ...

Cancer cells have an insatiable appetite for energy as they multiply more rapidly than normal cells. Greedy cancer cells hijack various cellular functions to find and exploit energy and other ...

Protein structure and dynamics are intimately linked with biological activity. Understanding the physical basis for this activity requires knowledge of the equilibrium and kinetic properties of ...

There are significant differences in the conformation of the monomer in the quaternary complex observed here compared to that in the binary NAD + complex 5 (Fig. 1b). A superposition of 539 ...

To understand why the enzyme is selective, the researchers examined the structure of the enzyme using X-ray diffraction studies.
