Mutations or deletions in the gene for POLG yield defective polymerases that cannot stay on the mtDNA template, thus leaving the enzyme’s tasks incomplete. PZL-A binds to an allosteric site on ...

Our life begins with a single cell, which has the potential to develop into more than 250 different cell types in the body. Research teams from Freiburg and Milan are working to understand the still ...

Chondroitin sulfate is a relatively safe supplement used to support joint and cartilage health. Chondroitin sulfate has become increasingly popular for managing joint pain, particularly related to ...

The breakthrough came with a small but powerful idea. They introduced goose lipases – natural enzymes used by birds to break down fat in their digestive systems. These enzymes had never been used in ...

Meet O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT), an enzyme at the heart of many essential cellular functions. According to the new study, OGT is also a lead choreographer when it comes to suppressing TEs and ...

Soil extracellular enzyme activities in the surface (0-5 cm) and subsurface (5-20 cm) layers of alpine meadow (A-F) and swamp meadow (G-L) under different warming treatments.CK: control treatment ...

Digestive enzymes play a crucial role in breaking down food and ensuring the body absorbs essential nutrients efficiently. Without these enzymes, even the healthiest diet may not provide the full ...

About 98% of lignin created as a forestry by-product from plants is discarded, but a new enzyme could be the key to extracting high-value molecules from this waste using a green chemistry approach.
