Each enzyme molecule has a special place called the active site where another molecule, called the substrate, fits. The substrate goes through a chemical reaction and changes into a new molecule ...

This illustration depicts the process of enzyme catalysis. The enzyme (blue) binds to its substrate (red) to form an enzyme-substrate complex. The enzyme then catalyzes the conversion of the substrate ...

Scientists are exploring a bacteria that consumes methane to produce biodegradable plastics. Called Methylocystis ...

This causes the formation of more enzyme-substrate complexes, leading to an increase in enzyme activity. This means the active site loses its important shape and can no longer form enzyme ...

A continued increase in pH results in a sharp decrease in activity as the enzyme’s active site changes shape. It is now denatured. As the substrate concentration increases so does the rate of ...

These high resolution crystal structures in complex with substrates and products provide the first three-dimensional picture of a diverse family of plant natural product biosynthetic enzymes and ...

Genome analysis and protein modeling reveals Methylocystis suflitae's high-efficiency methane-to-PHA conversion (11.90 mg PHA ...
