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 ...

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 ...

Focusing specifically on an enzyme known as AMPK, which is considered a master regulator of metabolism, Frigo and his team have demonstrated that androgens have the capacity to take control of ...

In a new study, researchers have discovered how an enzyme that plays a key role in cancer development functions. The researchers hope the new knowledge will lead to the design of more precise drugs.

Researchers build an enzyme-discovering AI While E. coli is one of the most studied organisms, the function of 30% of proteins that make up E. coli has not yet been clearly revealed. For this, an ...

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 ...
