Chemists at MIT have introduced an engineered biosynthetic enzyme that accepts a wider range of substrates into periwinkle plant culture to make unnatural analogs of alkaloids (Nat. Chem. Biol., DOI: ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed a highly efficient cell-free enzyme system that converts ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 69, No. 9 (Sep., 1972), pp. 2645-2648 (4 pages) Esters of thiocholine were shown to inhibit the crosslinking of ...

Enzymes are the molecule factories in biological cells. However, which basic molecular building blocks they use to assemble target molecules is often unknown and difficult to measure. An international ...

Researchers from Tomsk Polytechnic University, together with their colleagues from Czech universities, have proposed a new ...

Enzyme mechanisms of catalysis play many important roles in the functioning of a healthy body. An enzyme may exist as a multi-subunit complex or it may be associated with a cofactor such as adenosine ...
