Enzymes carry out fundamental biological processes such as photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation and respiration, with the help of clusters of metal atoms as "active" sites. But scientists lack basic ...

A team of researchers, led by Professor Chae Un Kim from the Department of Physics at UNIST, has successfully tracked the catalytic pathway of carbonic anhydrase II (CAII), an enzyme that converts ...

Kopan and colleagues previously found the enzyme also is required for another protein called Notch to function. Notch helps produce many cell types and, using a thymus organ culture model system ...

Enzymes have active sites which only match specific substrates. The diagram shows how this works. In this example, the enzyme splits one molecule into two smaller ones, but other enzymes join ...

Rosenzweig points out that the team had previously proposed that one of the sites had a dicopper center. For one of the two ... for enzyme activity. But questions remain about what the active ...

In a new study published on March 26, 2024 in the journal Structure, Scripps Research scientists present the previously undescribed structure of two of these nucleic acid-degrading enzymes - PLD3 ...

Shima and his coworkers discovered a novel enzyme involved in biosynthesis of the [Fe]-hydrogenase active-site. This finding will lead researches developing new catalysts for artificial photosynthesis ...
