Scientists first observed the biological phenomenon of restriction and modification in the 1950s, but they did not identify and isolate restriction enzymes until the late ... enhancements designed to ...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder in which the α-synuclein protein abnormally aggregates within brain ...

Both yield and relative purity of the enzyme are calculated, taking advantage of protein concentration and enzyme activity experimentally determined for each fraction. First we must transfer the data ...

Team behind tool hope to dramatically reduce the experimental workload of scientists using directed evolution to develop ...

Mitochondrial diseases affect approximately 1 in 5,000 people worldwide, causing debilitating symptoms ranging from muscle ...

Genome editing has advanced at a rapid pace with promising results for treating genetic conditions—but there is always room ...

This represents 'activities' rather than 'entities', and as such an enzyme's function is described by its overall activity on a substrate, such as amino-methyltransferase activity; for ...

It is now possible to obtain three-dimensional, high-resolution images of enzyme activity in tissue samples or whole organs—thanks to probe molecules that anchor fluorescent dyes within tissue as they ...

Max Mazzone (VIB-KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology) discovered that an enzyme called HPGDS (expressed ... cells to resist treatment by blocking the activity of T-cells, which are vital for ...

New research finds reduced ELOVL2 enzyme activity speeds up immune cell aging and disrupts genes linked to cancer.
