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 ...

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 ...

Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies, with nearly 50,000 deaths annually in the United States, according ...

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 ...

Adenosine deaminase 2 (ADA2) has been identified as a regulator of toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) activation in response to nucleic acids, according to a recent study.

For example, apoC-II activates the enzyme lipoprotein lipase (LPL), which removes TG from lipoprotein particles such as chylomicrons and VLDL. Each lipoprotein class (chylomicrons, VLDL ...

Focusing on PKA and dephosphorylation enzymes, the research group created ... Under this project, JST is developing “systems biology for understanding humans” using sleep-wake rhythms as ...
