A research team at Leibniz-HKI has described a new enzyme that renders the highly toxic molecule malleicyprol harmless.

Stony Brook University researchers are now able to address many long-standing questions about the formation of triglyceride molecules since they were able to visualize the structure of the lipin ...

Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have determined the three-dimensional structure of an RNA enzyme, or “ribozyme,” that carries out a fundamental reaction required to make new ...

Researchers at the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, Karolinska Institutet have captured the first detailed molecular ...

Scientists studying a COVID-19 coronavirus enzyme at temperatures ranging from frosty to human-body warm discovered subtle structural shifts that offer clues about how the enzyme works. The findings ...

Gene editing is one of the latest breakthroughs in biology. The widely known CRISPR-Cas gene editing system provided prokaryotes (organisms that lack cell nuclei) an immunity against foreign DNA.

Malathy Palayam, Aleczander Young, Lior Tal, and Nitzan Shabek at the UC Davis Department of Plant Biology are exploring the mechanism by which the plant hormone strigoractone regulates a massive ...

The structure of a key enzyme involved in protein production is revealed by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Using cryo-EM, researchers at Goethe University (Frankfurt, Germany) shed light on ...

A subtle flaw in a single brain enzyme now looks like one of the earliest sparks that can set dementia in motion. Instead of ...
