A deeper look into the apparent self-defense mechanisms of these bacteriophage-resistant bacteria revealed their secret weapon: a group of enzymes called restriction endonucleases, or restriction ...

Certain glycans—sugar-like compounds with carbohydrate chains—containing galactose, may exhibit potential prebiotic ...

Enzymes are molecular machines that carry out the chemical reactions that sustain all life, an ability that has captured the attention of scientists like me. Consider muscle movement. Your body ...

Using a series of more than 1,000 X-ray snapshots of the shapeshifting of enzymes in action, researchers at Stanford University have illuminated one of the great mysteries of life—how enzymes ...

The Michaelis-Menten equation helps researchers understand the behavior of enzymes under different conditions and can be used to determine important kinetic parameters, such as V max and K M. As our ...

Restriction enzymes are one of the most important tools in the recombinant DNA technology toolbox. But how were these enzymes discovered? And what makes them so useful? Aa Aa Aa When I come to the ...
