Protein acylation is a critical area of research within the broader field of post-translational modifications, involving the addition of acyl groups to ...

The fleeting union of the enzyme and the substance on which it acts holds a key to our understanding of life processes. Many ingenious techniques are in use today to isolate it for study ...

Each enzyme molecule has a special place called the active site where another molecule, called the substrate, fits. The substrate goes through a chemical reaction and changes into a new molecule ...

Life as we know it wouldn’t exist without enzymes. These tiny proteins, found in every living organism, are the catalysts ...

This illustration depicts the process of enzyme catalysis. The enzyme (blue) binds to its substrate (red) to form an enzyme-substrate complex. The enzyme then catalyzes the conversion of the substrate ...

This causes the formation of more enzyme-substrate complexes, leading to an increase in enzyme activity. This means the active site loses its important shape and can no longer form enzyme ...

MICAL2 appears to supercharge the KRAS signaling pathway, which regulates cell growth, proliferation, and death and is known ...

activity assays determined that GnT-IVa enzyme with GlcNAc glycan branches (higher binding) near the lectin domain decreases ...
