A new artificial intelligence tool can predict the functions of enzymes based on their amino acid sequences, even when the enzymes are unstudied or poorly understood. Researchers said the AI tool, ...

Enzymes are the molecular machines that power life; they build and break down molecules, copy DNA, digest food, and drive ...

Just because an enzyme has an active site doesn’t mean the rest of the enzyme should be disregarded, as though it were so much dead weight. It influences enzyme function, if only by keeping the enzyme ...

Scientists have discovered a new function in a plant enzyme that could inspire the design of new chemical catalysts. The enzyme catalyzes, or initiates, one of the cornerstone chemical reactions ...

Once thought of as having one simple job within cells, researchers continue to learn more about the importance of organelles called lysosomes. An organelle is a small structure in a cell that is ...

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 ...

Researchers from UT Austin have discovered insights about an enzyme that can protect cells from oxidative stress. Oxidative stress – a condition that is linked to sources like air pollutants and ...
