Understanding enzyme classification is key to advancing our knowledge of biochemistry and unlocking the potential of these powerful biological catalysts.

Medically reviewed by Amelia MacIntyre, DO Medically reviewed by Amelia MacIntyre, DO Enzymes are substances in the body that cause and speed up crucial chemical reactions. Enzymes’ function is ...

Using a series of more than 1,000 X-ray snapshots of the shapeshifting of enzymes in action, researchers at Stanford University have illuminated one of the great mysteries of life—how enzymes ...

Because enzymes are highly interconnected, their functions multifaceted, and their cellular environments complex, identifying what affects their structure and function requires methods beyond ...

This study provides unprecedented structural insights into the enzyme's biochemistry. Some copper amine oxidase enzymes exhibit unusual biochemistry, such as quantum tunneling, which enables ...

Biochemistry articles from across Nature Portfolio Biochemistry is the study of the structure and function of biological molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids.

While biochemistry is the study of chemical processes taking place within living organisms, biotechnology is the ultimate product of these discoveries.

The first synthesis of an enzyme, said Merck’s Dr. Max Tishler last week, should provide much of the knowledge needed for researchers to devise and produce “the next generation” of healing ...
