Motivated by this, the fledgling bioengineer and his team created a new material that retains the key structural features of the enzyme's natural substrate while still being simple enough to allow ...

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 ...

SAN DIEGO, CA - April 16, 2025 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - Quantumzyme Corp. (OTC: QTZM), a biotechnology company leveraging computational enzyme engineering, is providing insight into the company’s enzymatic ...

This transformation enables the enzyme to better bind with its substrate (light pink puzzle piece). In contrast, an inhibitor molecule (pink circle) can prevent the interaction of an enzyme with ...

Inside cells, two important enzymes act like small central regulatory hubs: dipeptidyl peptidase 8 and 9—DPP8/9 for short.

Recently, Professor Frédéric Veyrier at the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) and his team developed a new genetic tool based on a family of specific enzymes called Ssn that allows ...

These inhibitors are typically small molecules designed by considering the structure of the active site or the substrate specificity of the enzyme. A common problem with small inhibitors ...

However, it is safe to say that no enzyme is perfect in the sense of catalyzing only a single reaction with a single substrate. For enzymes such as P450s and glutathione S-transferases that are ...

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 ...

A research team at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has identified a previously unknown enzyme, SIRT2, that plays a key ...
