The very cells that created us may have a role in saving our lives. Scientists have always been amazed by the energy production system in a sperm’s tail. The system drives flagellar movement and is ...

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 ...

Enzymes accelerate reactions by helping to lower the activation energy needed to start them. But how enzymes achieve this has been the subject of intense debate. A research team from Texas and China ...

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 ...

Enzymes are the molecular machines that power life; they build and break down molecules, copy DNA, digest food, and drive ...

Nicotiana benthamiana plants in a lab at UC Davis. Plants form new branches when a hormone called strigolactone breaks down. UC Davis plant biologists have now defined the enzymes that break down ...

In a new study published in Science Signaling titled, “Restoration of striatal neuroprotective pathways by kinase inhibitor treatment of Parkinson’s linked-LRRK2 mutant mice,” researchers from ...
