Enzyme kinetic data from the BRENDA database were mapped onto the genome-scale metabolic model of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to ...

The lock and key model explains how enzymes work: The enzyme is like a "lock". The substrate (the molecule it reacts with) is like a "key" that fits into the lock. Each enzyme is specific and acts ...

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 ...

In neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, proteins accumulate in the body's cells, fold incorrectly and clump together to form larger aggregates. Normally, cells are able to ...
