Macrolides are an important class of antibiotics that includes drugs such as azithromycin and erythromycin, which are widely ...

Gifu University scientists have uncovered how a brain-specific enzyme reshapes protein-linked sugar chains to facilitate the formation of complex glycans essential for normal brain function. These ...

Researchers have used cryo- electron microscopy to elucidate for the first time the structure and function of a very small enzyme embedded in cell membranes. This enzyme builds complex sugar trees ...

A new artificial intelligence tool can predict the functions of enzymes based on their amino acid sequences, even when the enzymes are unstudied or poorly understood. The researchers said the AI tool, ...

Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have determined the three-dimensional structure of an RNA enzyme, or “ribozyme,” that carries out a fundamental reaction required to make new ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Enzymes have complicated molecular structures that are hard to replicate. Design Cells/iStock via Getty Images Plus Enzymes are ...

There's a wobbly new biochemical structure in Burckhard Seelig's lab at the University of Minnesota that may resemble what enzymes looked like billions of years ago, when life on earth began to evolve ...

Researchers have determined the atom-by-atom structure of the fermentation enzyme phosphoketolase by cryogenic electron microscopy. They identified details that were mistakenly characterized by X-ray ...

Enzymes with specific functions are becoming increasingly important in industry, medicine and environmental protection.

David Cantu and Tin Nguyen have received a 3-year, $599,999 grant from the National Science Foundation’s Cyberinfrastructure for Sustained Scientific Innovation (CSSI) Program to support the creation ...
