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 ...

Study reveals function of glycosylating enzyme involved in muscular dystrophy, brain development and infection by arenaviruses such as Lassa fever; ability to assay enzyme activity could help ...

An enzyme is a type of protein found within a cell. Learn why enzymes are important for digestion and how they function in the human body.

SKD3 enzymes have a catalytic domain or part that drives protein unfolding, and a non-catalytic domain of unknown function. “Previous studies have shown that mutations in the catalytic domain that ...

Researchers participating in the Enzyme Function Initiative (EFI) have used a computationally rich metabolite-docking strategy to sift through a protein’s potential metabolic partners and ...

Enzyme function inhibits battery aging, researchers show Date: March 20, 2017 Source: TU Graz Summary: It has been known in biology for a long time that the excited oxygen molecule singlet oxygen ...

The enzyme AMPD1 plays a key role in muscle energy production and normal muscular function. Loss of AMPD1 activity due to genetic mutations is the most common cause of metabolic myopathy in ...

This newly discovered enzyme function catalyzes the annealing of complementary single-strands of DNA bound to replication protein A (RPA).

Chemists at Umeå University have succeeded in mapping structures and functions of a transient enzyme state. By modifying the enzyme adenylate kinase, researchers were able to isolate the molecule and ...
