Studies headed by researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) have found that metabolic enzymes known for their roles in energy production and nucleotide synthesis are taking on unexpected ...

Researchers reveal that metabolic enzymes known for their roles in energy production and nucleotide synthesis are taking on unexpected 'second jobs' within the nucleus, orchestrating critical ...

A protein that has long frustrated diabetes researchers is suddenly at the center of a very different fight. By targeting an enzyme called protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B, or PTP1B, scientists are ...

A multidisciplinary research team at the Rockefeller University, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and Vanderbilt University, has developed a discovery platform that can probe the function of ...

Switching off a single enzyme in immune cells protected mice from obesity, type 2 diabetes, and fatty liver disease in a new study, offering a potential new treatment target for metabolic disorders.

A protein long implicated in diabetes and obesity may hold the key to treating Alzheimer’s disease by reinvigorating the brain’s immune system. New research suggests that blocking this protein, known ...

Deep in your muscles, an enzyme called AMPD1 helps turn chemical fuel into usable energy. When it does not work well, muscles tire faster.

The concept of "good fats" and "bad fats" has influenced diet trends, public health policy, and biomedical research for ...

Imagine trying to bake a cake without heat. You’ve got all the ingredients like flour, eggs and sugar, but nothing is happening. That’s what your body would be like without enzymes: potential but no ...

A popular experiment that's recommended to demonstrate the functionality of enzymes is chewing a piece of bread for a moment, then paying attention to when it turns from a starchy flavor to begin ...
