Complementary biochemical and structural findings reveal molecular principles underlying substrate selectivity by a model hyaluronan synthase.

A study by researchers at ICIQ and Ben-Gurion University reveals that the choice of deuterium source can steer hydrogen isotope exchange reactions along entirely different mechanistic routes “Even a ...

Enzymes are essential for life and are one of the most important types of protein in the human body. Studying enzyme kinetics provides information about the diverse range of reactions in the human ...

(A) FPs emit light via chromophore structural transformations and energy transitions. The chromophore forms through autocatalytic cyclization, dehydration, and oxidation of internal amino acids. Upon ...

Although bioluminescence has been observed for many centuries, its application in biomedicine is relatively recent. Scientists traced back the first reference of bioluminescence to the Greek ...

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells disrupted under low pressure in a Yeda press yielded a preparation (``pressate'') with high permeability toward substrates for Class A chloroplasts and intact ...

All living things depend on millions of chemical reactions that happen constantly. Chemical reactions that keep you alive happen fast! When you eat food, breathe, play, and grow, all of these are ...

Drug discovery is like molecular Tetris. Chemists snap atoms together, adjusting the pieces until everything fits, and suddenly, a molecule makes a promising new medicine. Normally, creating better ...

Analysts interested in small volume sample preparation, culture growth, enzyme preservation, enzyme-substrate reactions, DNA amplification, electrophoresis gel degeneration, or serum coagulation ...

A new artificial intelligence-powered tool can help researchers determine how well an enzyme fits with a desired target, helping them find the best enzyme and substrate combination for applications ...
