The following Q&A is an edited version of the podcast. What are enzymes and how they operate? Enzymes are the molecules in our bodies that facilitate reactions. They perform this function at their ...

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 ...

Ensemble map of protein structure. The team’s approach integrates different NMR data to create a map of how different parts of a molecular structure move. Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo ...

Many chemical reactions require the input of energy to activate the transformation. This can often be in the form of heat, or chemical energy. One of the most efficient ways of introducing energy into ...

UCSF scientists have discovered how to target a large family of molecular switches called GTPases that are involved in myriad diseases, from Parkinson’s to cancer, and have long been thought to be ...

“Enteric coating protects the enzymes, which are proteins, from being digested by the acid contained in, and secreted by, the stomach,” Cohen said, so “the enzyme can safely get to the small intestine ...

Focusing on an enzyme in yeast, they demonstrated how contrasts in atomic scale motions impact their function. The method promises unprecedented access to the mechanisms by which biomolecules work, ...
