Thus, understanding the interplay between structure, dynamics and function of enzymes in solution is an important goal in modern biochemistry. Generations of students have been introduced to this ...

Structural biology is the study of the molecular structure and dynamics of biological ... biochemistry and biophysics. The enzyme nitrogenase ‘fixes’ nitrogen gas to form bioavailable ammonia ...

Enzymes are crucial to life. They are nature's little catalysts. In the gut, they help us digest food. They can enhance ...

The goal of my research is to understand the mechanisms and structures of enzymes that perform and regulate essential nucleic acid transactions. My research integrates diverse experimental approaches ...

Researchers have now uncovered the 3D structure of the RNA enzyme SAMURI. Their study provides insights into the development of ribozymes and the evolution of catalytically active RNA.

With an interdisciplinary approach, Yang’s lab is able to reprogram and reinvent nature’s biosynthetic machinery to catalyze reactions that are well beyond the native biochemical landscape. He has ...

Researchers led by chemist Claudia Höbartner have now uncovered the 3D structure of the RNA enzyme SAMURI. Their study provides insights into the development of ribozymes and the evolution of ...

In a new study, published in Nature Chemical Biology ... Two enzymes, a peptidase and a cyclase, then collaborate to convert ...
