and the steps within them, generated by enzymatic action on substrates. The mechanism of enzyme catalysis is similar in principle to other types of chemical catalysis, for instance by involving a ...

Engineering the functionality and programmability of these building units provides a step toward more complex cell-like entities ... We show that the programmed attachment of enzyme-loaded ...

In biology, enzymes have evolved over millions of years to drive chemical reactions. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute ...

Life is thought to have begun when RNA began replicating itself, and researchers have got close to achieving this in the lab ...

A study led by University of Cincinnati Cancer Center researchers sheds new light on the mechanisms by which a major oncogene ...

These fundamental findings offer a novel mechanism by which rubrerythrin tubules encapsulate encapsulin to prevent oxidative stress in Pyrococcus furiosus. However, there are a few reasonable concerns ...

This enzyme acts by accelerating the breakdown of cellulose through a deconstruction process, a key step in the production of biochemicals and energy. “This discovery changes the paradigm of ...

This increase was significantly attenuated when urease was inhibited with pyrocatechol, demonstrating that the increase in diffusion was the result of enzyme catalysis of urea. Local molecular pH ...
