Deep in your muscles, an enzyme called AMPD1 helps turn chemical fuel into usable energy. When it does not work well, muscles tire faster. That matters because problems with AMPD1 are the most common ...

Gifu University scientists have uncovered how a brain-specific enzyme reshapes protein-linked sugar chains to facilitate the ...

Enzymes are proteins that catalyse the chemical transformations essential to life. Through billions of years of evolution, nature has sculpted them to be remarkably efficient and specific for their ...

Enzymes originally evolved in high-temperature environments and later adapted to lower temperatures as Earth cooled. Scientists discovered that a key shift in enzyme function occurred over ...

Utah State University biochemists Derek Harris, left, and Lance Seefeldt, and and fellow colleagues with the NASA-funded Metal Utilization and Selection across Eons (MUSE) project at the University of ...

Papaya contains papain and chymopapain, proteolytic enzymes that break down proteins into amino acids. This reduces the ...

While protein design is experiencing a period of rapid development and advancement, there’s one particularly challenging class of proteins that’s giving researchers a hard time: enzymes. Now ...

Sam Pellock receives funding from the Washington Research Foundation and Schmidt Sciences. Enzymes are molecular machines that carry out the chemical reactions that sustain all life, an ability that ...
