Instead of the enzyme mechanism described in biochemistry text-books, hen lysozyme hydrolysis was postulated to occur by a ring-opening mechanism based on substrate interactions defined by the active ...

A new study has uncovered a critical role for the enzyme Glucose-6-phosphatase 2 (G6PC2) in regulating blood sugar levels.

In collaboration with Galina Lepesheva, research professor of biochemistry, the researchers compared the relative contributions of each heme species in four P450 51 enzymes from pathogenic yeast ...

Researchers from the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology and the Department of Chemistry at The University of Manchester ...

With an interdisciplinary approach, Yang’s lab is able to reprogram and reinvent nature’s biosynthetic machinery to catalyze ...

A research team has discovered how the 'Shethna protein II' protects the nitrogen-fixing enzyme nitrogenase from damage. The oxygen sensor protein could help to make nitrogenase usable in ...

Because of their large size, complex design and changing shapes, NRPS enzymes are highly dynamic and difficult to study.

Structural biology incorporates the principles of molecular biology, biochemistry and biophysics. The enzyme nitrogenase ‘fixes’ nitrogen gas to form bioavailable ammonia, a vital process for ...

Compounds that enhance enzyme activity show promise for cellular rejuvenation and treating age-related diseases. However, ...

A recent research conducted by members of Qatar University’s (QU) Health Sector delineated the mechanism that a mutation in a gene encoding for an important protein can lead ...
