Researchers have identified a molecular mechanism that regulates the activity of N-myristoyltransferases. This enzyme plays a ...

The binding energy sufficient for the inhibition of protease enzyme was observed in lead molecules with taraxerol at -10.17 Kcal/mol, diosgenin at -10.12 Kcal/mol, amyrin at -9.56 Kcal/mol ...

In fact, understanding the structure of macromolecules is central to understanding their function, as many molecules, particularly enzymes, will adopt complicated three-dimensional (3D) structures ...

Enzymes lower the activation energy necessary to transform a reactant into a product. On the left is a reaction that is not catalyzed by an enzyme (red), and on the right is one that is (green).

Biological macromolecules adopt complicated three-dimensional (3D) structures that are crucial to their function. Some macromolecules, such as enzymes, act alone to provide chemical environments ...

A research team from the United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) has made a significant breakthrough in understanding how ...

Most bacteria produce a cell wall that is composed partly of a macromolecule called peptidoglycan, itself made up of amino sugars and short peptides. Human cells do not make or need peptidoglycan.
