A new artificial intelligence-powered tool can help researchers determine how well an enzyme fits with a desired target, ...

Researchers devised a reversibly lockable DNA device for enclosing an enzyme and controlling its access to substrates. Turning on and off the activity of a single enzyme on demand is a much desired ...

Many medications and other therapeutic agents, including antibiotics and cancer therapies, must enter cells to reach their ...

Revealing all the steps required to activate an enzyme called a protein kinase may identify new ways to target cancer, according to new University of Arizona-led research. Not only must the kinase ...

New research identifies several existing compounds that block replication of the COVID-19 virus (SARS-CoV-2) within human cells grown in the laboratory. The inhibitors all demonstrated potent chemical ...

Although putting together the words "random" and "biased" can seem like a clash, these are the attributes that describe how bacteria navigate and fetch their food. They follow a random path, but ...

Chemists at MIT have introduced an engineered biosynthetic enzyme that accepts a wider range of substrates into periwinkle plant culture to make unnatural analogs of alkaloids (Nat. Chem. Biol., DOI: ...

Scientists discovered a key molecular switch to keep neurons healthy by controlling the disassembly and assembly of their ...

A new artificial intelligence-powered tool can help researchers determine how well an enzyme fits with a desired target, helping them find the best ...
