Advanced microscopy techniques give scientists valuable clues for how to fight an enzyme that is leading to a rise in cases of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections worldwide. Bacteria draw from ...

Scientists discovered hundreds of energy-making enzymes secretly working on human DNA—revealing a hidden “mini-metabolism” ...

Bacteria draw from an arsenal of weapons to combat the drugs intended to kill them. Among the most prevalent of these weapons are ribosome-modifying enzymes. These enzymes are growing increasingly ...

Living cells are sustained by countless chemical reactions that must be carefully regulated to maintain internal order and ...

Here's what enzymes are, what they do and how you'll know if you are ever low on them.

A resurrected ancient enzyme is helping scientists test how reliably Earth’s oldest rocks record signs of life.

Frances Arnold's game-changing technique of "directed evolution" creates enzymes with unusual capabilities. Her own evolution made it possible.

The function of an enzyme, critical to most forms of life, has been revealed. A research team, led by the John Innes Centre found that the enzyme DNA topoisomerase VI (topo VI) performs a critical ...

Carbohydrate chains play physiologically relevant roles. For instance, many biologically important proteins and lipids inside our body have carbohydrate chains attached to them. These “sugar” chains, ...

FOR more than a year we have been engaged in a study of the inactivation by enzymes of purified preparations 1 of the oxytocic principle of the pituitary gland. The stimulating action of the hormone ...
