All forms of life depend on enzymes—without them most biochemical reactions would proceed too slowly to sustain the processes of life. Enzymes function by binding to a compound known as a substrate.

Enzymes play a key role in cellular metabolic processes. To enable the quantitative assessment of these processes, researchers need to know the so-called “turnover number” (for short: k cat) of the ...

Measuring Enzyme Kinetic Parameters with the ITC Universal Enzyme Assay Method Enzymes are important in drug discovery and development since they constitute approximately one-half of all known drug ...

Enzymes are the molecular machines that power life; they build and break down molecules, copy DNA, digest food, and drive ...

It is well known in physics and chemistry that equal charges repel each other, while opposite charges attract. It was long assumed that this principle also applies when enzymes -- the biological ...
