Scientists from the Université de Montréal and McGill University have re-engineered a human enzyme, a protein that accelerates chemical reactions within the human body, to become highly resistant to ...
Whether they are laundry detergents, mascara, or Christmas chocolate, many everyday products contain fatty acids from palm ...
We have synthesized a hybrid subtilisin the solubility of which can be regulated by photoirradiation through coupling with a photoresponsive copolymer that carries spiropyran groups in its side chains ...
This method uses polymer modifications to tune enzyme activity for increased solubility in non-native solvents. Tuning the miscibility of enzymes in non-native solvent environments has important ...
Sanofi has developed a simpler way to create site-specific antibody-to-mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) conjugates that eliminates the need for enzyme remodeling. This more straightforward method makes M6P ...
The enzyme ALKBH1 can remove molecular modifications from transfer RNA, causing a measurable effect on protein translation in the cell, new research demonstrates. The study sheds new light on how ...
Paracatalytic enzyme modifications result from the oxidation of enzyme-substrate carbanions by extrinsic oxidants. During the oxidation of enzyme-activated substrates, transiently reactive ...
Archaeosine is synthesized via three steps in tRNA. ArcS, the second-step enzyme, transfers a lysine to preQ 0, which is introduced into tRNA by ArcTGT, the first-step enzyme. The resultant preQ 0-Lys ...
During the process of phagocytosis, polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) release lysosomal enzymes into the extracellular medium. When the antibiotic cytochalasin B (CB) is present in the incubation ...
Enzymes are the molecular machines that power life; they build and break down molecules, copy DNA, digest food, and drive ...
