A: If you have a pet with long hair who walks around in tall grasses in the spring and summer in Flagstaff, you are probably ...

It is known experimentally that enzymatic reactions are often accelerated when the enzymes are assembled on the scaffold of DNA nanostructures. However, the exact mechanism by which this acceleration ...

Crafting enzymes is more difficult than designing other proteins because it requires not just predicting the structure of a single protein conformation, but of changes in conformations as enzymes ...

Enzymes are molecular machines that carry out the chemical reactions that sustain all life, an ability that has captured the attention of scientists like me.. Consider muscle movement.

Background Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) activity has been shown to predict calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) outcomes. Our objective was to test the association between plasma ...

Using genetic mapping, biochemical assays, and single-cell genomics, the researchers discovered that the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase family 3 member A2 (ALDH3A2) oxidizes psittacofulvins to ...

Digestive enzymes, for instance, belong to the hydrolase category and help break down foods to make them more easily absorbed throughout the body. There's also metabolic enzymes, which belong to ...

Phospholipase A2 from the rattlesnake Crotalus durissus terrificus was employed for the first time to test its enantioseletivity on the hydrolysis of different non-natural esters. It was observed that ...
