AN obvious source of error in enzyme kinetic studies is the presence of competitive inhibitors in impure coenzyme preparations, especially perhaps in the unstable ...

IN our series of investigations on the formation of an apo-enzyme–coenzyme–substrate complex of D-amino-acid oxidase 1–3, we set out to examine the Michaelis complex of this enzyme to elucidate the ...

A new artificial intelligence-powered tool can help researchers determine how well an enzyme fits with a desired target, helping them find the best enzyme and substrate combination for applications ...

Biological cells invest much of their resources into the production of enzymes, which catalyze the conversion of substrates into products. An international team of bioinformaticians and biophysicists ...

Complementary biochemical and structural findings reveal molecular principles underlying substrate selectivity by a model hyaluronan synthase.

Researchers imagine autonomous nanosized devices sailing through the blood stream, detecting molecular signs of disease or delivering drugs. Such devices will need nanomotors that can drive and steer ...

This article shows how enzymatic activity can be effectively determined by means of the Eppendorf BioSpectrometer. The preliminary measurements were carried out by utilizing the “single λ-continuous” ...

Halogenated compounds are widespread in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. But the reagents used to make them can produce hazardous waste and mixtures of compounds. Enzymes can provide a ...

Introduction Have you ever wondered how all the food that you eat gets digested? It is not only the acid in your stomach that breaks down your food—many little molecules in your body, called enzymes, ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto and University of Padova have found that the association between heavy coffee consumption and kidney dysfunction hinges on a common genetic variation. A ...
