Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new structure determination method using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy which shows how different parts of complex ...

Life just got more difficult for those fighting antibiotic-resistant superbugs. Researchers at McGill University have ...

That problem is why, even though we’ve had success finding enzymes that break down common plastics like polyesters and PET, they’re only partial solutions to plastic waste. However, researchers aren’t ...

It turns out there is more to gas than a sheepish laugh or a quick departure from a crowded room. Scientists from Monash ...

Healthy cells are constantly breaking down proteins and building up new ones with the help of enzymes aptly named unfoldases, because they unravel proteins tagged for destruction or recycling. Now, a ...

Chemists have long dreamed of mimicking nature’s precision, and now, thanks to a repurposed enzyme, they’ve taken a leap closer. Researchers at the University of Basel have successfully combined a ...

Modern humans are evolutionary survivors, thriving generation after generation while our ancient relatives died out. Now, new research into our brain chemistry suggests that an enzyme unique to Homo ...

A strain of bacterium that often causes infections in hospital can break down plastic, research published this week in Cell Reports reveals 1. Researchers in the United Kingdom identified an enzyme, ...

Food goes on a long, complex journey through your body before becoming poo. Each part of the digestive system plays a special role in breaking it down.

Ensemble map of protein structure. The team’s approach integrates different NMR data to create a map of how different parts of a molecular structure move. Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo ...

Focusing on an enzyme in yeast, they demonstrated how contrasts in atomic scale motions impact their function. The method promises unprecedented access to the mechanisms by which biomolecules work, ...
