Gene editing is one of the latest breakthroughs in biology. The widely known CRISPR-Cas gene editing system provided prokaryotes (organisms that lack cell nuclei) an immunity against foreign DNA.

To better understand PLA2 enzymes and help drive therapeutic drug development, researchers developed 3-D computer models that show exactly how two PLA2 enzymes extract their substrates from cellular ...

(Nanowerk News) The human body is full of proteins called enzymes that help nearly every function in the body. Scientists have been studying enzymes for decades in order to learn how they work and how ...

Taking clear pictures of megaenzymes isn't easy, but it's definitely worth it. These proteins play an active role in creating many common antibiotics. Prof. Martin Schmeing from McGill's Dept. of ...

July 8 (UPI) --Scientists have for the first time captured high-definition, 3D images of enzymes in the process of cutting DNA strands. The breakthrough -- described Monday in the journal Nature ...

Taking clear pictures of megaenzymes isn’t easy. But it’s definitely worth it. These proteins play an active role in creating many common antibiotics. They are in constant motion, with sections that ...

All biological reactions within human cells depend on enzymes. Their power as catalysts enables biological reactions to occur usually in milliseconds. But how slowly would these reactions proceed ...

Enzymes are amazing catalysts. These proteins are made of nothing more than a handful of Earth-abundant elements, and they promote a vast array of reactions, convert chemical energy to physical motion ...

Enzyme dynamics and function are directly correlated in a variety of biological processes, but imaging the dynamics of a high number of single enzymes in real time is challenging. Sun et al.

Enzymes help with specific functions that are vital to the operation and overall health of the body. They help speed up chemical reactions in the human body. They are essential for respiration, ...
