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 ...

Revealing all the steps required to activate an enzyme called a protein kinase may identify new ways to target cancer, according to new University of Arizona-led research. Not only must the kinase ...

This article shows how enzymatic activity can be effectively determined by means of the Eppendorf BioSpectrometer. The preliminary measurements were carried out by utilizing the “single λ-continuous” ...

A research team led by a biochemist at the University of California, Riverside has solved the crystal structure for an enzyme that plays a key role in DNA methylation, the process by which methyl ...

Chemists at MIT have introduced an engineered biosynthetic enzyme that accepts a wider range of substrates into periwinkle plant culture to make unnatural analogs of alkaloids (Nat. Chem. Biol., DOI: ...

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 ...

NIH/Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have discovered that a rare tumor of the adrenal glands appears to ...
