Enzymes are the molecule factories in biological cells. However, which basic molecular building blocks they use to assemble target molecules is often unknown and difficult to measure. An international ...

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. The researchers said the AI tool, ...

Professor Nicolas Doucet and his team at Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) made a major breakthrough earlier this year in the field of evolutionary conservation of molecular ...

Usually enzyme complexes make multistep processes easier by catalyzing sequential reactions in which the product of one enzyme becomes the substrate for the next. In a new finding, researchers report ...

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

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 ...

This story is one in a series marking International Women and Girls in Science Day. Join us as we celebrate some laboratory leaders taking research to new heights. Enzymes are the fundamental stuff of ...

In this corner: the state-of-the-art enzyme function prediction tool … the Bioinformatic Brawler … the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool for proteins … BLASTp! And in this corner: the contender … the ...

A popular experiment that's recommended to demonstrate the functionality of enzymes is chewing a piece of bread for a moment, then paying attention to when it turns from a starchy flavor to begin ...
