Enzymes have active sites which only match specific substrates. The diagram shows how this works. In this example, the enzyme splits one molecule into two smaller ones, but other enzymes join ...

In biology, enzymes have evolved over millions of years to drive chemical reactions. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute ...

[What Is Chemistry?] The molecules that an enzyme works with are called substrates. The substrates bind to a region on the enzyme called the active site. There are two theories explaining the ...

Visualization of sulfite reductase's structure offers insights into sulfur chemistry, aiding in drug development and ...

This action involves phosphorylation by enzyme hexokinase, forming glucose-6-phosphate with the expenditure of ATP. The glucose-6-phosphate is the initial substrate of glycolysis (Figure 1).

However, how the industrially-important enzyme R-ATA recognized its substrate and other details remained unclear. The research group of Professor Masaru Tanokura at the Graduate School of ...
