image: Enzyme substrate specificity involving material conversion processes is pertinent to e.g. biochemistry, metabolic engineering, and environmental remediation; however, it is one of the most ...

Proofreading modules of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are responsible for enforcing a high fidelity during translation of the genetic code. They use strategically positioned side chains for specifically ...

For efficient aminoacylation, tRNAs carry the conserved 3′-terminal sequence C-C-A, which is synthesized by highly specific tRNA nucleotidyltransferases (CCA-adding enzymes). In several prokaryotes, ...

FMI researchers have developed a new tool that maps how proteases—enzymes that process proteins—cut their targets. This innovation offers new insight into the highly selective nature of proteases, ...

Scientists have developed a novel approach to control the activity of enzymes through the use of synthetic, antibody-like proteins known as monobodies. The findings have widespread implications for a ...

With over 75 years of enzyme technology expertise, look no further than Worthington, the primary enzyme producer. Our extensive technical-resource library is the definitive source for primary cell ...

Researchers have found a new enzyme, taken from Flavobacterium akiainvivens, that has a much broader specificity than the current leading alternatives. This analysis resulted in the identification of ...

Researchers studied double-strand breaks with complex damage and found that enzyme tools to resect the breaks are highly specific to the type of break to be repaired. Our cells are constantly dividing ...

Researchers from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, say they have made an important discovery on how cells handle stress. Using bacterial cells, the team found that a damage-repairing enzyme, ...

A new study in mice has made a possible breakthrough in Alzheimer’s research. The team of researchers at the Cleveland Clinic has noted that deleting a single enzyme can reverse the deposition of ...
