For example, structural proteins maintain cell shape, akin to a skeleton, and they compose structural elements in connective tissues like cartilage and bone in vertebrates. Enzymes are another ...

They are essential for life, as they play a crucial role in various biological processes, such as digestion, metabolism, and cell regulation. Enzymes are primarily proteins, although some RNA ...

We have investigated the prediction of protein interactions through the analysis of domain fusion to assess whether metabolic enzymes have a higher participation in gene-fusion events compared ...

Enzymes are crucial to life. They are nature's little catalysts. In the gut, they help us digest food. They can enhance ...

A new ML-guided platform can design thousands of new enzymes, predict how they will behave in the real world, and test their ...

A platform to engineer enzymes responsible for the formation of amide bonds as an effort toward developing biocatalysts for green chemistry. Amide bonds — a type of chemical bond formed between a ...

Deubiquitinases (DUBs) are enzymes used by cells to trim protein modifications made from the protein ubiquitin, and thereby regulate proteins. Malfunctioning of DUBs could lead to diseases ...

APOBEC enzymes, which normally help fight viral infections by mutating viral DNA, cause repeat expansions and are unusually ...

These carbohydrates, proteins and fats are digested into nutrients and absorbed into the body. Enzymes are biological catalysts which speed up reactions including digestion. VOICEOVER: Enzymes of ...

One example is phenylketonuria (or PKU), a rare inherited disease where the body lacks the enzyme to process proteins. Because of this, toxic molecules can build up, and if they travel to the brain, ...

The enzymes troponin I and troponin T are normal proteins that are important in the contractile apparatus of the cardiac myocyte. The proteins are released into the circulation between 3 and 4 ...
