Sir2, an enzyme belonging to sirtuins, has been shown to be involved in the deacetylation of proteins. Researchers from the ...

A spoonful of sugar may make the medicine go down, but understanding what happens to that sugar in the cell is far more complicated than simple digestion, according to researchers. For sugars to ...

The contribution of enzymes as a biological catalyst in almost all processes occurring in live organisms is significant. Studying the enzyme reactions taking place in a system, individually, is ...

Researchers imagine autonomous nanosized devices sailing through the blood stream, detecting molecular signs of disease or delivering drugs. Such devices will need nanomotors that can drive and steer ...

Contrary to what previously thought, enzymes move towards areas with less substrate. They display such behavior despite not having any thinking or sensing capabilities. Contrary to what previously ...

FOR a long time two viewpoints regarding the mechanism of enzymatic activity have profoundly influenced our conceptions in this field. To Oscar Loew is due the credit for the original suggestion that ...

Enzymes are catalysts that accelerate chemical reactions in living systems. They reduce the energy required for chemical reactions to occur and act like a team of experts in construction projects, ...

Although putting together the words "random" and "biased" can seem like a clash, these are the attributes that describe how bacteria navigate and fetch their food. They follow a random path, but ...
