Every year, thousands of tons of brown algae are extracted from the seabed to obtain compounds such as alginates, a polymer ...

Generations of students have been introduced to this subject with the first and second editions of Enzyme structure and mechanism by Alan Fersht. The detailed introductory descriptions of stopped ...

Instead of the enzyme mechanism described in biochemistry text-books, hen lysozyme hydrolysis was postulated to occur by a ring-opening mechanism based on substrate interactions defined by the active ...

A few years ago, the advent of technology known as CRISPR was a major breakthrough in the scientific world. Developed from a ...

Every year, thousands of tons of brown algae are extracted from the seabed to obtain compounds such as alginates, a polymer composed of sugars that has high density and strength, offering potential ...

Researchers have deciphered the mechanism by which a type of enzyme, called alginate lyase, is capable of degrading these ...

High resolution crystal structures of SF1 enzymes in complex with DNA and various nucleotide analogues have led to detailed proposals for ssDNA translocation through 'inch-worm' mechanisms that ...

The goal of my research is to understand the mechanisms and structures of enzymes that perform and regulate essential nucleic acid transactions. My research integrates diverse experimental approaches ...

The rate of enzyme reaction can be affected by substrate concentration. As the substrate concentration increases, the enzyme reaction increases until all of the active sites are occupied by the ...

A team of researchers has uncovered a previously unrecognized role of mitochondrial protein synthesis in the maintenance of intracellular iron distribution. Disruption of this process was found to ...
