Enzymes help with specific functions that are vital to the operation and overall health of the human body. They help speed up chemical reactions and are essential for respiration, digestion, muscle ...

A research team analyzed the regulatory mechanisms of carbohydrate-hydrolyzing enzyme production in Aspergillus aculeatus, a filamentous fungus that produces enzymes with an excellent ability to ...

The enzyme transhydrogenase plays a central role in regulating metabolic processes in animals and humans alike. Malfunction can lead to serious disorders. For the first time, structural biologists ...

A new artificial intelligence tool can predict the functions of enzymes based on their amino acid sequences, even when the enzymes are unstudied or poorly understood. The researchers said the AI tool, ...

Many enzymes of animals, especially enzymes that regulate metabolic pathways, exhibit one or more types of inter- and intracellular compartmentation. A given type of catalytic activity is effected by ...

Higher levels of the enzyme PRDX2 reduced damage to lung blood vessels in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension in a ...
