WITH our present knowledge of enzyme processes any conception of their mechanism must be essentially highly speculative. In the work under notice the author makes no claim to deal comprehensively with ...

Fabry disease (FD) is a rare X-linked recessive glycosphingolipid-storage disorder caused by deficient activity of the lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactosidase A. Intravenous enzyme replacement therapy ...

A new study led by scientists at IUPUI and Indiana University Bloomington is the first to describe a biochemical mechanism that increases the activity of a molecule whose presence is observed in many ...

The function of an enzyme, critical to most forms of life, has been revealed. A research team, led by the John Innes Centre found that the enzyme DNA topoisomerase VI (topo VI) performs a critical ...

An international research team led by the University of Leicester has made a breakthrough advance by trapping an intermediate in the mechanism of enzymes called heme peroxidases and determining its ...

Researchers in Japan have developed a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy technique that captures how enzymes move and ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory, the New York Structural Biology Center, and SGX Pharmaceuticals, Inc., have determined the atomic crystal ...

In the human body, proteins called enzymes help speed up chemical reactions that are vital for life. After you eat, enzymes help your body break down food and obtain energy. Enzymes are also ...

Only one thousandth of a milligram of the bacterial botulinum toxin is necessary to kill a living organism. The toxin unfolds its lethal effect by preventing the release of neurotransmitters at the ...
