Enzyme fusion is a commonly used cofactor regeneration strategy, but the high usage and limited cofactor recovery restrict the sustainability of the catalytic process. Thus, there is an urgent ...

Researchers have identified how such a cofactor, the so-called hydrogen cluster, is assembled. Specifically, they describe the previously unexplained role of the enzyme HydF, which is involved in ...

Cofactors are inorganic or organic molecules that bind to the enzyme and stabilize its structure or enhance its activity. Cofactors can be divided into two groups: -Prosthetic groups: These are ...

Some enzymes cannot function unless they attach to a specific non-protein molecule, known as cofactors. There are two types of cofactors, ions and coenzymes. Ions are inorganic molecules that ...

Based on their new structure, the Max Planck researchers propose three possible functions for the G-subunit, including coordination of electron transfer, substrate channeling, and stabilization of the ...

Any excess molybdenum is then passed in urine (4). The molybdenum cofactor activates four essential enzymes, which are biological molecules that drive chemical reactions in the body. Below are the ...

Manganese is an essential cofactor for various enzymes, meaning that it helps these enzymes function and work properly in your body. It also plays a role in the production of thyroxine.

Once the cofactor is added, the enzyme becomes the active “holoenzyme”. Cofactors can either be ions, such as zinc and iron ions, or organic molecules, such as vitamins or vitamin-derived ...

Researchers from Osaka University have streamlined the traditionally slow process of enzyme engineering. This work might help researchers tailor the suitability of enzymes for custom purposes ...
