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

As their subject, the authors chose a family of enzymes known as the serine proteases, which is the family most biochemistry textbooks use to explain enzymatic processes to budding biochemists.

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 ...

COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes may be blocked by pain medications such as Advil and Vioxx in a more complex manner than was previously understood, a Queen's University study has found.

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.

Any biochemistry textbook will tell you that enzymes catalyse reactions by binding their substrates' transition states — high-energy arrangements of atoms that form during reactions — more ...

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 ...

Iron can catalyze metabolic reactions without enzymes Findings suggest that the abundant metal might have played a key role in early biochemistry before enzymes evolved ...

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 ...
