Researchers have identified a new function of a well-known enzyme: the signal peptidase complex is responsible for the quality control of membrane proteins. The discovery of this new function for a ...

Australian researchers have created tiny compartments to help supercharge photosynthesis, potentially boosting wheat and rice ...

In this corner: the state-of-the-art enzyme function prediction tool … the Bioinformatic Brawler … the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool for proteins … BLASTp! And in this corner: the contender … the ...

Usually enzyme complexes make multistep processes easier by catalyzing sequential reactions in which the product of one enzyme becomes the substrate for the next. In a new finding, researchers report ...

The microbiome-the trillions of bacteria, viruses, and fungi that live quietly in our body-plays a crucial role in shaping human health by providing a variety of micronutrients necessary for vital ...

Researchers synthesize enzymes to learn more about a signaling protein involved in the development of muscle, bone and blood in vertebrate embryos. A team of bioengineers at the University of Texas at ...

University of Delaware biochemist Jeff Mugridge is trying to figure out how so-called mRNA eraser enzymes work in our cells, why those erasers can sometimes misbehave and lead to cancer, and how ...

Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) is a ubiquitous, evolutionarily conserved polymer composed of linear chains of inorganic phosphate residues. Long recognised as an energy metabolite and phosphate ...

The film discusses the fundamental processes of cell biology, focusing on how cells grow, reproduce, and perform essential life functions through chemical reactions. It explains the distinction ...
