Enzymes are proteins that guide (catalyze) very specific chemical reactions. They play indispensable roles in all life forms. Some enzymes carry out the day-to-day business of biology like digesting ...

Enzymes are proteins that can change shape and therefore become active or inactive. An activator molecule (green pentagon) can bind to an enzyme (light green puzzle shape) and change its overall shape ...

In neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, proteins accumulate in the body's cells, fold incorrectly and clump together to form larger aggregates. Normally, cells are able to ...

The collection of proteins within a cell determines its health and function. Proteins are responsible for nearly every task of cellular life, including cell shape and inner organization, product ...

Scientists have developed a novel approach to modifying enzymes to improve functionality. They designed a new algorithm to make multiple changes to an enzyme sequence at once as compared to the ...

Healthy cells are constantly breaking down proteins and building up new ones with the help of enzymes aptly named unfoldases, because they unravel proteins tagged for destruction or recycling. Now, a ...

Cells operate on rules not vibes, including when on the precipice of persisting or perishing. Yet, with prior research ...

Life runs on instructions you never see. Every cell reads DNA, turns that message into RNA, and then builds proteins that ...
