Enzymes are biological molecules that play a crucial role in various biochemical reactions within living organisms. They act as catalysts, which means they speed up the rate of chemical reactions ...

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 ...

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 ...

COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes may be blocked by pain medications such as Advil and Vioxx in a more complex manner than was previously understood, a Queen's University study has found.

Any biochemistry textbook will tell you that enzymes catalyse reactions by binding their substrates' transition states — high-energy arrangements of atoms that form during reactions — more ...

The first synthesis of an enzyme, said Merck’s Dr. Max Tishler last week, should provide much of the knowledge needed for researchers to devise and produce “the next generation” of healing ...

Iron can catalyze metabolic reactions without enzymes Findings suggest that the abundant metal might have played a key role in early biochemistry before enzymes evolved ...
