Life has evolved over billions of years, adapting to the changing environment. Similarly, enzymes—proteins that speed up biochemical reactions (catalysis) in cells—have adapted to the habitats of ...

Researchers at Freiburg University discover new functions of the widely disseminated, yet little understood ENDOU enzyme. The family of ENDOU enzymes is found in most organisms, yet its functions are ...

Many enzymes have non-canonical or non-enzymatic functions. Therefore, these enzymes can still be functional when their activity is compromised, such as after inhibition with an active site inhibitor ...

NEW ORLEANS — Abnormal blood lipids – such as alterations in total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides (TG), and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) – ...

The enzyme AMPD1 plays a key role in muscle energy production and normal muscular function. Loss of AMPD1 activity due to genetic mutations is the most common cause of metabolic myopathy in Europeans, ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new structure determination method using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy which shows how different parts of complex ...

Two human deaminase enzymes edit the RNA of the SARS-CoV-2 virus when it enters a patient's body, with implications for the evolution of the virus and the spread of the infection, according to a new ...
