Pharmaceutical ads are difficult to avoid in American television programming and a growing number of them promote a class of ...

Enzymes are substances in the body that cause and speed up crucial chemical reactions. Enzymes’ function is to help trigger bodily processes ranging from digestion to blood clotting to growth.

Enzyme activation typically happens when small molecules bind outside the active site, to increase the enzyme’s activity. What’s special about the enzyme you investigated, 8-oxoguanine DNA ...

The active site of an enzyme has a unique three-dimensional structure that allows it to bind to a specific substrate, much like a lock and key. This specificity ensures that enzymes catalyze only the ...

In the enzyme-catalyzed reaction, an enzyme will bind to a reactant and facilitate its transformation into a product. Consequently, an enzyme-catalyzed reaction pathway has a smaller energy ...

The structural analysis of redox enzymes in their reduced and oxidized states is crucial for advancing bioelectronic devices like biosensors and biofuel cells. In a recent study, researchers from ...

New study finds THC, CBD & CBN bind to diabetes-related enzymes, show potential for blood sugar control. Findings are based on computer simulations, not real-world testing—no clinical trials ...

Parasitic worms are difficult to kill with current therapies, but their commensal bacteria might be their Achilles’ heel.
