WITH our present knowledge of enzyme processes any conception of their mechanism must be essentially highly speculative. In the work under notice the author makes no claim to deal comprehensively with ...

Fabry disease (FD) is a rare X-linked recessive glycosphingolipid-storage disorder caused by deficient activity of the lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactosidase A. Intravenous enzyme replacement therapy ...

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterial pathogen that is often associated with healthcare settings but can cause serious infections in anyone. These illnesses are difficult ...

UPTON, NY -- Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, the New York Structural Biology Center, and SGX Pharmaceuticals, Inc., have determined the atomic crystal ...

Enzyme mechanisms of catalysis play many important roles in the functioning of a healthy body. An enzyme may exist as a multi-subunit complex or it may be associated with a cofactor such as adenosine ...

The combined action of two enzymes, Srs2 and Exo1, prevents and repairs common genetic mutations in growing yeast cells, according to a new study. Because such mechanisms are generally conserved ...

The brain has the ability to modify the contacts between neurons. Among other things, that is how it prevents brain activity from getting out of control. Researchers have now identified a mechanism ...

The enzyme Nocturnin, which governs daily tasks such as fat metabolism and energy usage, works in an entirely different way than previously thought, reported a team of researchers at Princeton ...

Researchers from the University of Seville have participated in research to identify the molecular details of the regulation ...

Unprecedented images of cancer genome-mutating enzymes acting on DNA provide vital clues into how the enzymes work to promote tumor evolution and drive poor disease outcomes, according to University ...

Tangerine peel may help lower blood sugar by slowing carbohydrate breakdown. Research identified 84 active compounds, mostly ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — In the human body, proteins called enzymes help speed up chemical reactions that are vital for life. After you eat, enzymes help your body break down food and obtain energy. Enzymes ...
