"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 ...

Certain glycans—sugar-like compounds with carbohydrate chains—containing galactose, may exhibit potential prebiotic properties that support human health. Identifying enzymes capable of breaking down ...

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 ...

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 ...

Define Catabloic - Biochemical reactions that break down molecules in metabolism. Molecules may be broken down to gain their energy or to prepare them for disposal from the body. Continue with the ...

A Tokyo University of Science study identifies a novel β-galactosidase in Bacteroides xylanisolvens that breaks down β-1,2-galactooligosaccharides. The enzyme could aid in prebiotic development and ...

The honor recognition recognizes her contributions to biochemistry and molecular biology and her efforts to support junior ...

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 ...

The research of D. Fernando Estrada, PhD, associate professor of biochemistry, has been recognized by the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics (ASPET).
