The very cells that created us may have a role in saving our lives. Scientists have always been amazed by the energy production system in a sperm’s tail. The system drives flagellar movement and is ...

Recent research has observed that chemical modifications called phosphorylation of proteins in brain neurons dynamically regulate sleep and wakefulness. But the protein kinases that suppress sleep and ...

Researchers have discovered a widespread mechanism in bacteria that enhances the bacteria's defense against environmental threats. The discovery, which may be important for research into developing ...

Recent research published in Communications Biology marks an advance in structural biology by enhancing understanding of ...

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 ...

The heightened intrinsic activity resulting from loop confinement in enzymes arises synergistically from enthalpic and entropic contributions, which are contingent upon the extent of surface ...

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 ...

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 ...

Proteases are naturally-produced enzymes your body needs for digestion and blood clotting. Most people make enough proteases, but supplements can help if you have certain health conditions. Pineapples ...

A new study shows exercise releases a liver enzyme that repairs aging brain blood vessels and restores memory.
