A team of Michigan State University scientists -- using a new cooling method they created -- have uncovered the inner workings of a key iron-containing enzyme, a discovery that could help researchers ...

Researchers devised a reversibly lockable DNA device for enclosing an enzyme and controlling its access to substrates. Turning on and off the activity of a single enzyme on demand is a much desired ...

Scientists discovered a key molecular switch to keep neurons healthy by controlling the disassembly and assembly of their energy-generating powerhouses, the mitochondria. The study illustrates how a ...

Motion is crucial for proper functioning of a kinase enzyme, scientists have found. Not only must the kinase have all needed parts in place, the enzyme must move in the correct manner and at the ...

Hydrogenases catalyze the reversible splitting and production of hydrogen gas (H2), using complex catalytic cofactors ...

Like finally seeing the gears of a watch and how they work together, all components of an entire telomerase enzyme complex have been positioned into a three-dimensional structure for the first time.

Researchers from DZNE, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU), and Technical University of Munich (TUM) have found that the enzyme "gamma-secretase"—implicated in Alzheimer's disease and ...
