In the avalanche of research being generated on the human microbiome, it’s important to take a step back and think about the many basic facts of the system that we don’t know anything about. One ...
Scientists first observed the biological phenomenon of restriction and modification in the 1950s, but they did not identify and isolate restriction enzymes until the late 1960s. 3 In 1970, Hamilton ...
The Michaelis-Menten equation is used to describe the dynamics of an enzymatic reaction, in which an enzyme interacts with a substrate to generate some product before the enzyme is released. Cells are ...
By reconstructing ancient nitrogen-processing enzymes, scientists are uncovering new clues about how early life survived on a very different Earth.
A resurrected ancient enzyme is helping scientists test how reliably Earth’s oldest rocks record signs of life.

Study finds antioxidant enzymes can assemble in more shapes than expected
Researchers have found that peroxiredoxins, a family of antioxidant enzymes central to how cells manage oxidative stress, can ...
Led by Huimin Zhao, a professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at the U. of I., the team reported its findings in the journal Nature Communications. "Enzymes have been increasingly used in ...
A core mission of glycobiology is to decipher the physiological roles of mammalian glycans. However, because glycan structure is encoded indirectly through the location and activities of glycan ...
Enzymes are biomolecules that perform specialized functions, such as the assembly or degradation of small molecules. The small size of enzymes (tens of nanometres) previously limited their study to ...
Researchers have found evidence of nuclear metabolic enzymes for the first time, contributing to our understanding of cancer ...
Mimicking natural evolution in a test tube, scientists have devised an enzyme with a unique property that might have been crucial to the origin of life on Earth. Mimicking natural evolution in a test ...
