Using a series of more than 1,000 X-ray snapshots of the shapeshifting of enzymes in action, researchers at Stanford University have illuminated one of the great mysteries of life – how enzymes are ...

Man prides himself upon his growing mastery over nature, but in the ultimate biochemical analysis nature remains the master of man. With their most sophisticated laboratory glassware and corrosive ...

A team has used neutron crystallography to image all of the atoms in a radical intermediate of a copper amine oxidase enzyme. They disclosed previously unknown details, such as precise conformational ...

It is well known in physics and chemistry that equal charges repel each other, while opposite charges attract. It was long assumed that this principle also applies when enzymes -- the biological ...

Researchers have discovered how sperm cells perform an extraordinary metabolic transformation after ejaculation, from quiet ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new structure determination method using nuclear magnetic ...

Peroxidases are enzymes that break down hydrogen peroxide in organisms. Since their discovery in 1998, the electron source of ...

The latest short science news items from C&EN. The team proposes that SAM plays a dual role in the reaction. It donates a methyl group to the enzyme’s cobalamin cofactor and then serves as a base when ...

Scientists have found a key weakness in prostate cancer cells. Two enzymes, PDIA1 and PDIA5, help cancer cells survive and ...

Biochemistry is an important field as it applies to the field of veterinary science. Blood hematological and biochemical parameters are necessary to diagnose disease unmanaged the health of both wild ...
