The Michaelis-Menten equation is used to describe the dynamics of an enzymatic reaction, in which an enzyme interacts with a substrate to generate some product before the enzyme is released. Cells are ...

Scientists first observed the biological phenomenon of restriction and modification in the 1950s, but they did not identify and isolate restriction enzymes until the late 1960s. 3 In 1970, Hamilton ...

Enzymes are biomolecules that perform specialized functions, such as the assembly or degradation of small molecules. The small size of enzymes (tens of nanometres) previously limited their study to ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — By combining artificial intelligence with automated robotics and synthetic biology, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have dramatically improved performance ...

With over 75 years of enzyme technology expertise, look no further than Worthington, the primary enzyme producer. Our extensive technical-resource library is the definitive source for primary cell ...

Deep in your muscles, an enzyme called AMPD1 helps turn chemical fuel into usable energy. When it does not work well, muscles tire faster. That matters because problems with AMPD1 are the most common ...

Researchers have discovered that lack of two types of enzymes can lead to liver disease and cancer in mice. In human liver tumors, they found that deficiencies in these two enzymes, Shp2 and Pten, are ...

XNAs, synthetic genetic polymers with alternative backbone chemistries not found in nature, are capable of forming XNAzymes, forming an all-artificial parallel to the more familiar—but not necessarily ...

Researchers at Duke University Medical Center have provided the first direct evidence in mice for the role of an enzyme that specifically controls the production of serotonin in the brain. DURHAM, N.C ...

LA JOLLA, CA—October 29, 2014—Mimicking natural evolution in a test tube, scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have devised an enzyme with a unique property that might have been crucial ...
