Feb. 10, 2021 — Scientists describe a novel protein that spurs the post-translational modifications of the amino acid tryptophan to create an enzyme cofactor. This work may lead to the creation of new biological ...
Oct. 27, 2021 — Biological cells invest much of their resources into the production of enzymes, which catalyze the conversion of substrates into products. An international team of bioinformaticians and biophysicists ...
Apr. 25, 2022 — It is well known in physics and chemistry that equal charges repel each other, while opposite charges attract. It was long assumed that this principle also applies when enzymes -- the biological ...
July 31, 2023 — Chemists describe a powerful new way to create new-to-nature, 'unnatural' amino acids, which could find use in protein-based therapies and open up novel branches of organic ...
June 30, 2023 — For the first time, researchers have succeeded in predicting how to change the optimum temperature of an enzyme using large computer calculations. A cold-adapted enzyme from an Antarctic bacterium ...
Aug. 31, 2022 — Drug molecules and biofuels can be made to order by living cell factories, where biological enzymes do the job. Now researchers have developed a computer model that can predict how fast enzymes work, ...
Sep. 5, 2023 — Important progress for RNA research: A team has discovered a new ribozyme that can label RNA molecules in living ...
Feb. 28, 2022 — A team of researchers is developing tools to predict the features of life as we don't know it. In a new study, they identify universal patterns in the chemistry of life that do not appear to ...
Oct. 19, 2021 — Enzymes are biological catalysts that facilitate biochemical transformations. An international team of bioinformatics researchers has developed a new process for predicting Michaelis constants, which ...
July 24, 2023 — Enzymes play a key role in cellular metabolic processes. To enable the quantitative assessment of these processes, researchers need to know the so-called 'turnover number' (for short: kcat) ...
