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

Imagine trying to bake a cake without heat. You’ve got all the ingredients like flour, eggs and sugar, but nothing is happening. That’s what your body would be like without enzymes: potential but no ...

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. They are essential for life, as they play a crucial role in various biological processes, such as digestion, ...

Researchers from Drexel University’s College of Arts and Sciences and College of Medicine have found a potential new therapeutic target for Alzheimer’s disease. Expanding on their previous research on ...

Methylation is a key post-translational modification (PTM) of mammalian proteins and nucleic acids where unique enzymes known as methyltransferases (MTases) transfer methyl groups to a variety of ...

Enzymes are the molecular machines that power life; they build and break down molecules, copy DNA, digest food, and drive virtually every chemical reaction in our cells. For decades, scientists have ...

Putting the brakes on an enzyme might rescue neurons that are dying due to a type of Parkinson's disease that's caused by a single genetic mutation, according to a new Stanford Medicine-led study ...
