The enzyme (blue) binds to its substrate (red) to form an enzyme-substrate complex. The enzyme then catalyzes the conversion of the substrate into products (pink), which are released. The enzyme ...

Northwestern Medicine investigators have discovered a novel mechanism that recognizes and eliminates "bad" transcriptional ...

In this process, when a substrate binds to one-half (protomer ... enhancing our understanding of how these enzymes facilitate the complex modifications essential to lanthipeptide biosynthesis.

With further refinement, the enzyme could be adapted for even more complex reactions, making it a valuable tool in drug development, agricultural chemicals, and materials science. "The ...
