Weizmann Institute of Science-led researchers have unveiled a computational workflow that crafts enzymes exhibiting catalytic ...

Human proteins undergo a variety of chemical modifications following their synthesis. These modifications regulate their ...

Proteins are so much more than nutrients in food. Virtually every reaction in the body that makes life possible involves this large group of molecules. And when things go wrong in our health, proteins ...

Many fitness enthusiasts debate on protein intake before or after workouts. Protein is vital for bones, hair, and tissues.

Scientists have identified a new class of compounds capable of partially clearing the tropical parasite that causes Chagas ...

New research reveals cancer cells generate “power waves” of energy helping them move, stretch, and invade more aggressively.

Another question addressed by the team's research is whether or not glycosylation enzymes recognize the protein part of the glycoproteins, or proteins bound to glycans, they modify.

Huang says he and Wang will continue to collaborate on ways to push the boundaries of biocatalysis. For example, they’re starting to work on using protein design to craft new enzymes from scratch.

One key enzyme in this process is MTO1, which facilitates mitochondrial protein synthesis by modifying mitochondrial tRNAs.

BCC Research announces the release of its "2024 Protein Synthesis Research Review," which provides comprehensive insights ...

These enzymes are responsible for the first steps in the hydroxylation of cholesterol, leading to the formation of the furostanol-aglycone (16,22,26-trihydroxycholesterol), a key branching point ...
