Ensemble map of protein structure. The team’s approach integrates different NMR data to create a map of how different parts of a molecular structure move. Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo ...

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 ...

The following Q&A is an edited version of the podcast. What are enzymes and how they operate? Enzymes are the molecules in our bodies that facilitate reactions. They perform this function at their ...

Enzymes are key protein molecules in living systems. Once synthesized, they are not usually converted to other kinds of molecules, and so are the substances taken in as fuel for digestive and ...

Many enzymes have non-canonical or non-enzymatic functions. Therefore, these enzymes can still be functional when their activity is compromised, such as after inhibition with an active site inhibitor ...

An artist's representation of leucyl-tRNA synthetase, which belongs to the Aminoacyl tRNA synthetase family, from bacteria Thermus thermophilus. The European Bioinformatics Institute Enzymes — ...

Focusing on an enzyme in yeast, they demonstrated how contrasts in atomic scale motions impact their function. The method promises unprecedented access to the mechanisms by which biomolecules work, ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new structure determination method using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy which shows how different parts of complex ...
