Structural models of PLD3 and PLD4, enzymes that degrade nucleic acids in the cytoplasm. The enzymes' active (or binding) sites are indicated with black arrows. LA JOLLA, CA—When nucleic acids like ...

A team from the University of Illinois has developed a modeling framework connecting enzyme activity related to photosynthesis to yield. This is the first time a model has tied the dynamic ...

Drug molecules and biofuels can be made to order by living cell factories, where biological enzymes do the job. Now researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have developed a computer model ...

Coupled oxygen transfer and electron transfer reactions that use cofactors are enzymatic reactions of crucial significance to all lifeforms from bacteria to vertebrates. In the European Journal of ...

Treatment with a novel agent that inhibits the activity of SIRT2, an enzyme that regulates many important cellular functions, reduced neurological damage, slowed the loss of motor function and ...

The inhibition of an enzyme associated with neurodegeneration processes reduced the toxic effect of tau, one of the proteins that damage neurons in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). A group of scientists from ...

Mathematical modeling helps researchers to understand how enzymes in the body work to ensure normal functioning. The models also can show how genetic mutations alter the enzymes' behavior in ways that ...

Obesity is one of the major causes of mortality as well as morbidity. It’s a global epidemic that increases the risk for many ...
