Dehalogenase enzymes are specialised biocatalysts that mediate the removal of halogen atoms from organic compounds, a reaction known as dehalogenation. This process is critical for environmental ...
Nicotiana benthamiana plants in a lab at UC Davis. Plants form new branches when a hormone called strigolactone breaks down. UC Davis plant biologists have now defined the enzymes that break down ...
The enzyme PI3K plays a critical role in cell migration. Scientists have long understood this function. But researchers have recently unveiled that a subunit of this enzyme also has the ability to ...
Researchers at the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, Karolinska Institutet have captured the first detailed molecular snapshots of human polynucleotide phosphorylase (hPNPase) in action, ...
A mechanism that could help scientists harness enzymes for use in drug discovery has been discovered in a research breakthrough at the University of Birmingham. In a study published in Science ...
Photodynamic therapy (PDT), characterized by its non-invasive nature and precise spatiotemporal selectivity, has garnered considerable attention for its applications in tumor and anti-infection ...
New obesity drugs could be inspired by discovery of an enzyme that controls both weight gain and cholesterol levels in animal ...
Microbiologists have long known that ancient, inactive viruses known as cryptic prophages can insert their genetic material into bacterial DNA. These genetic fragments allow bacteria to use ...
Branching, or bushiness in plants is controlled by breakdown of the hormone strigolactone by carboxylesterase enzymes. New work at UC Davis reveals the structure of two of these enzymes in plants and ...
