BUFFALO, N.Y. -- In a publication selected as a "2007 Hot Article" by the journal Biochemistry, University at Buffalo chemists report the discovery of a central mechanism responsible for the action of ...

Enzymes are life’s tiny catalysts, orchestrating chemical reactions with extraordinary speed and precision. New research is revealing how their structure, evolution, and cooperative chemistry make ...

Researchers have found an enzyme that can turn fragile drug molecules into durable ring shapes. This could help medications like Ozempic last longer and work more effectively. The process is simpler ...

University of Delaware biochemist Jeff Mugridge is trying to figure out how so-called mRNA eraser enzymes work in our cells, why those erasers can sometimes misbehave and lead to cancer, and how ...

When people eat foods they love, sometimes those treats don’t love them back, causing digestive discomfort that has them reaching for a remedy. At times, that’s in the form of digestive enzyme ...

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 ...

Focusing on an enzyme in yeast, they demonstrated how contrasts in atomic scale motions impact their function. The method promises unprecedented access to the mechanisms by which biomolecules work, ...
