Alpha-glucosidases are a diverse class of enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis of α-d-glucosidic linkages at the non-reducing ends of substrates, thereby releasing α-glucose. These enzymes are ...

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 ...

PNAS is the world's most-cited multidisciplinary scientific serial. It publishes high-impact research reports, commentaries, perspectives, reviews, colloquium papers, and actions of the Academy. In ...

Using artificial intelligence, researchers show how γ-secretase recognizes substrates - an important advance for fundamental and translational research. The γ-secretase enzyme is capable of cleaving ...

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 ...

The cytosolic chaperonin CCT (chaperonin containing TCP-1) is an ATP-dependent double-ring protein machine mediating the folding of members of the eukaryotic cytoskeletal protein families. The actins ...

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. They are essential for life, as they play a crucial role in various biological processes, such as digestion, ...

Enzymology is the study of enzymes and enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Enzymes are biological catalysts that accelerate the rate of biological reactions. They can also perform multiple reactions ...

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, ...
