"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 ...

Scientists have long struggled to target proteins that lack defined structure and are involved in cancer, neurodegenerative ...

A UCLA-led team has developed an advanced sensor platform that measures metabolites — key molecules involved in sustaining ...

For organs to develop, grow and regenerate, cells must proliferate. But when that process goes awry, leading to uncontrolled cell growth, cancer can emerge.

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 ...

Bioluminescent luciferase enzymes have historically been too dim to use as probes in living tissue. But recent advances have ...

The honor recognition recognizes her contributions to biochemistry and molecular biology and her efforts ... Dr. Johnson-Winters’ research group uses kinetics to study F420-dependent enzymes, focusing ...

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 ...
