Thus, understanding the interplay between structure, dynamics and function of enzymes in solution is an important goal in modern biochemistry. Generations of students have been introduced to this ...

How does your body speed up these important reactions? The answer is enzymes. Enzymes in our bodies are catalysts that speed up reactions by helping to lower the activation energy needed to start a ...

The Michaelis-Menten equation helps researchers understand the behavior of enzymes under different conditions and can be used to determine important kinetic parameters, such as V max and K M. As our ...

The enzyme sulfatase has been found to be able to catalyse a reaction it was presumed to be incapable of 1, expanding our understanding of biologically critical biomolecules. The discovery ...

Their first step was gaining a full understanding of the enzymes' functional and molecular characteristics. "Very little has been done with chitinases in general in terms of the purification and ...

A breakthrough in understanding how a single-cell parasite makes ergosterol (its version of cholesterol) could lead to more ...

merolae has much better thermostability. "By understanding the 'why' of how [C. merolae enzymes] operate at higher temperatures, we can reengineer plant enzymes to be better prepared for a world ...

New research on an enzyme that is essential for photosynthesis and all life on earth has uncovered a key finding in its structure which reveals how light can interact with matter to make an essential ...
