BUFFALO, N.Y. -- In a publication selected as a "2007 Hot Article" by the journal Biochemistry, University at Buffalo chemists report the discovery of a central mechanism responsible for the action of ...

Focusing on an enzyme in yeast, they demonstrated how contrasts in atomic scale motions impact their function. The method promises unprecedented access to the mechanisms by which biomolecules work, ...

Drug molecules and biofuels can be made to order by living cell factories, where biological enzymes do the job. Now researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have developed a computer model ...

Life just got more difficult for those fighting antibiotic-resistant superbugs. Researchers at McGill University have ...

University of Delaware biochemist Jeff Mugridge is trying to figure out how so-called mRNA eraser enzymes work in our cells, why those erasers can sometimes misbehave and lead to cancer, and how ...

Enzymes help digest food, clean laundry, make perfumes, and build medicines. They also break down toxins in the environment. Because of their wide use, scientists have worked for years to create ...

Healthy cells are constantly breaking down proteins and building up new ones with the help of enzymes aptly named unfoldases, because they unravel proteins tagged for destruction or recycling. Now, a ...

A chemist from Columbia University will be named the Welch Award winner today for studying how nature works on the molecular level and mimicking this behavior in the chemistry lab. Ronald Breslow, 72, ...

Editor’s note: This week’s Deep Dive feature focuses on human enzyme research. RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK – It’s the biggest National Institutes of Health grant in Appalachian State University’s history, ...
