A team has used neutron crystallography to image all of the atoms in a radical intermediate of a copper amine oxidase enzyme. They disclosed previously unknown details, such as precise conformational ...

Using a series of more than 1,000 X-ray snapshots of the shapeshifting of enzymes in action, researchers at Stanford University have illuminated one of the great mysteries of life—how enzymes are able ...

Enzymes act as catalysts within the living cells and are made up of proteins. All chemical reactions occurring in a living organism are dependent on the catalytic actions of enzymes, and this is why ...

An enzyme found in papaya could lead to new medicines: a scientific review reveals the surprising pharmaceutical potential of ...

Small-scale interactions of substrates with an enzyme's active site — over distances smaller than the length of a chemical bond — can make big differences to the enzyme's catalytic efficiency. Any ...

What: Scientists discovered a bacterium (Hydrogenobacter) in Yellowstone that breathes both oxygen (aerobic) and elemental ...

Man prides himself upon his growing mastery over nature, but in the ultimate biochemical analysis nature remains the master of man. With their most sophisticated laboratory glassware and corrosive ...
