Enzyme Function: How It Works Enzymes help speed up chemical reactions in the body. They control everything from digesting food, to muscle growth, to blood clots. They do this by facilitating ...

Researchers at St. Michael's Hospital have discovered a new function for an enzyme that may protect against organ injury and death from anemia.

Slight oscillations lasting just milliseconds have a huge impact on an enzyme's function, according to a new study. Blocking these movements, without changing the enzyme's overall structure or any ...

Chemists at Umeå University have succeeded in mapping structures and functions of a transient enzyme state. By modifying the enzyme adenylate kinase, researchers were able to isolate the molecule and ...

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. University of Illinois Urbana ...

Enzymes can increase the speed of a reaction by many orders of magnitude,” explained Hecht. After making artificial proteins to put in a bacterium, Escherichia coli, the team began looking for ...

Researchers participating in the Enzyme Function Initiative (EFI) have used a computationally rich metabolite-docking strategy to sift through a protein’s potential metabolic partners and ...
