How can we inhibit or activate enzymes? Pharmacological inhibition is carried out with a small molecule that chemists can optimize, which usually binds directly to the mouth, blocking the active site.

Enzymes are primarily proteins, although some RNA molecules called ribozymes also exhibit enzymatic activity. Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower the activation energy of chemical reactions, ...

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 binding of the enzyme to its substrate also lowers the activation energy of the reaction (amount of energy needed to make a reaction happen). If an enzyme is present, the amount of energy ...

Max Mazzone (VIB-KU Leuven) and colleagues focuses on a specific enzyme known as hematopoietic ... HPGDS not only enhanced the recruitment and activation of T-cells per se," says Prof.
