HANOVER, NH – By revealing the architecture of an essential enzyme in a parasite, Dartmouth researchers are helping address a public health issue. Researchers in the laboratory of Amy Anderson, ...

The structure of enzymes determines how they control vital processes such as digestion or immune response. This is because the protein compounds are not rigid, but can change their shape through ...

Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have determined the three-dimensional structure of an RNA enzyme, or “ribozyme,” that carries out a fundamental reaction required to make new ...

The latest short science news items from C&EN. The team proposes that SAM plays a dual role in the reaction. It donates a methyl group to the enzyme’s cobalamin cofactor and then serves as a base when ...

A structural model of the telomerase enzyme shows how the binding domain (purple) tethers one end of the RNA component of the enzyme. (Image credit: Jansson et al., ) Researchers at UC Santa Cruz have ...

Although many organisms capture and respond to sunlight, enzymes - proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions - are rarely driven by light. A new study captures the full cycle of complex structural ...

Scientists at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, have captured real-time images showing how ...
