The very cells that created us may have a role in saving our lives. Scientists have always been amazed by the energy production system in a sperm’s tail. The system drives flagellar movement and is ...

Sir2, an enzyme belonging to sirtuins, has been effectively involved in the deacetylation of proteins. A tandem allosteric effect of reactant and product is responsible for the efficient deacetylation ...

Scientists at IOCB Prague are uncovering new details of gene transcription. They have identified a previously unknown molecular mechanism by which the transcription of genetic information from ...

Dehalogenase enzymes are specialised biocatalysts that mediate the removal of halogen atoms from organic compounds, a reaction known as dehalogenation. This process is critical for environmental ...

Researchers at the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, Karolinska Institutet have captured the first detailed molecular snapshots of human polynucleotide phosphorylase (hPNPase) in action, ...

Photodynamic therapy (PDT), characterized by its non-invasive nature and precise spatiotemporal selectivity, has garnered considerable attention for its applications in tumor and anti-infection ...

Researchers from the University of Seville have participated in research to identify the molecular details of the regulation ...

Nicotiana benthamiana plants in a lab at UC Davis. Plants form new branches when a hormone called strigolactone breaks down. UC Davis plant biologists have now defined the enzymes that break down ...

By resurrecting a 3.2-billion-year-old enzyme and studying it inside living microbes, researchers at the University of ...

Every year, thousands of tons of brown algae are extracted from the seabed to obtain compounds such as alginates, a polymer composed of sugars that has high density and strength, offering potential ...
