"When I say enzymes speed up reactions, I mean as in a trillion-trillion times faster for some reactions," noted senior author of the study, Dan Herschlag, professor of biochemistry in the School ...

Using computational tools and virtual screening, researchers at the Center for Redox Processes in Biomedicine (Redoxoma) have ...

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 ...

Certain glycans—sugar-like compounds with carbohydrate chains—containing galactose, may exhibit potential prebiotic ...

Sam Pellock receives funding from the Washington Research Foundation and Schmidt Sciences. Enzymes are molecular machines that carry out the chemical reactions that sustain all life, an ability ...

Enzymes are molecular machines that carry out the chemical reactions that sustain all life, an ability that has captured the attention of scientists like me. Consider muscle movement. Your body ...

Winters, an associate professor of chemistry and biochemistry at The University of Texas at Arlington, has been named a 2025 ...

A Tokyo University of Science study identifies a novel β-galactosidase in Bacteroides xylanisolvens that breaks down ...

Biochemistry is the study of the structure and function of biological molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids. Biochemistry is also used to describe techniques suited ...

Now, researchers have found that certain aerobic bacteria only need one enzyme to get a similar job done. Bradley Moore and his team at the University of San Diego have discovered a diiron oxidase ...
