A team has used neutron crystallography to image all of the atoms in a radical intermediate of a copper amine oxidase enzyme. They disclosed previously unknown details, such as precise conformational ...

Although you may never have heard of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes, these proteins play diverse and critical roles in humans through the metabolic processing of drugs, pesticides, fatty ...

Using a series of more than 1,000 X-ray snapshots of the shapeshifting of enzymes in action, researchers at Stanford University have illuminated one of the great mysteries of life – how enzymes are ...

While biochemistry is the study of chemical processes taking place within living organisms, biotechnology is the ultimate product of these discoveries, allowing the identified biochemical processes to ...

Lipoxygenases constitute a family of non-heme iron or manganese-dependent enzymes that catalyse the regio- and stereospecific dioxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to yield hydroperoxy ...

Gram-positive bacteria display a myriad of surface proteins that mediate adhesion, immune evasion and biofilm formation. Central to the covalent attachment of these proteins to the cell wall is the ...

When your wounds heal and your liver detoxifies a poison such as histamine you ingested, you can thank the class of enzymes known as copper amine oxidases for their assistance. Identifying the exact ...
