A new artificial intelligence tool can predict the functions of enzymes based on their amino acid sequences, even when the enzymes are unstudied or poorly understood. Researchers said the AI tool, ...

Macrolide antibiotics like azithromycin rely on a complex ring structure that’s powerful but notoriously hard to control.

We know the genes, but not their functions—to resolve this long-standing bottleneck in microbial research, a joint research team has proposed a cutting-edge research strategy that leverages artificial ...

In this corner: the state-of-the-art enzyme function prediction tool … the Bioinformatic Brawler … the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool for proteins … BLASTp! And in this corner: the contender … the ...

Enzymes are the molecular machines that power life; they build and break down molecules, copy DNA, digest food, and drive ...

Cytochrome P450 enzymes constitute a superfamily of haem-containing proteins that catalyse the oxidation of a wide range of exogenous and endogenous compounds. Their function is fundamental to the ...

Researchers have made a major breakthrough earlier this year in the field of evolutionary conservation of molecular dynamics in enzymes. Their work points to potential applications in health, ...

Malathy Palayam, Aleczander Young, Lior Tal, and Nitzan Shabek at the UC Davis Department of Plant Biology are exploring the mechanism by which the plant hormone strigoractone regulates a massive ...

Usually enzyme complexes make multistep processes easier by catalyzing sequential reactions in which the product of one enzyme becomes the substrate for the next. In a new finding, researchers report ...

The human body undergoes numerous changes throughout life, with many significant transitions occurring during the decade of the 40s. Among these changes, the decrease in digestive enzyme production ...
