While most enzymatic activity is conducted through chemical binding interactions between molecules, in some cases, the mere presence of an enzyme can affect intracellular functions. While exploring ...

UPTON, NY—Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory have produced the first atomic-level structure of an enzyme that selectively cuts carbon-hydrogen bonds—the first ...

Living cells are sustained by countless chemical reactions that must be carefully regulated to maintain internal order and ...

The ensemble-function approach provides a quantitative catalytic model for serine proteases and identifies repeatedly evolved catalytic strategies. Credit: Science (2025). DOI: 10.1126/science.ado5068 ...

Using reprogrammed biocatalysts, researchers are pushing the boundaries of enzymatic synthesis with a method that opens the door to a diverse array of valuable compounds. Reporting in the journal ...

Enzymology is the study of enzymes and enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Enzymes are biological catalysts that accelerate the rate of biological reactions. They can also perform multiple reactions ...

Scientists observed the characteristics of a single enzyme inside a nanopore. This revealed that the enzyme can exist in four different folded states, or conformers, that play an active role in the ...
