Scientists discovered a key molecular switch to keep neurons healthy by controlling the disassembly and assembly of their energy-generating powerhouses, the mitochondria. The study illustrates how a ...

Focusing on an enzyme in yeast, they demonstrated how contrasts in atomic scale motions impact their function. The method promises unprecedented access to the mechanisms by which biomolecules work, ...

Dont know if your body is receiving adequate protein Read ahead to know how to recognise the signs determine your requirements and increase your intake properly ...

Bacterial styrene oxidase isomerase has been known to science for more than three decades, but its mechanism of action has not yet been elucidated. "Working with this enzyme is difficult because it is ...

A combination of cryogenic electron microscopy and molecular simulations has been used to study the structure and dynamics of an enzyme called ACE.

Researchers from Queen Mary University of London's School of Biological and Behavioral Sciences, using the simple fission yeast as a model, have shown that the new TOR inhibitor rapalink-1 prolongs ...

Iridoids are a widespread and evolutionarily ancient class of plant secondary metabolites belonging to the terpenes. They occur in thousands of plant species and play an important role in defense and ...

Study in fission yeast revealed a key role for a set of enzymes called agmatinases, which break down the metabolite agmatine into polyamines.

Structural and computational approaches uncover the molecular basis for dimerization, open-closed conformational transitions, and the dynamic behavior of the human angiotensin-I converting enzyme ...

Scientists estimate chimps’ alcohol consumption for the first time, and find they seem to prefer boozier fruit.
