By combining artificial intelligence with automated robotics and synthetic biology, researchers at the University of Illinois ...

Scientists at Stanford University have created a faster way to design enzymes. They use machine learning, computer models, and “cell-free systems” to predict how enzymes will behave. This lets ...

Putting the brakes on an enzyme might rescue neurons that are dying due to a type of Parkinson's disease that's caused by a ...

Inhibition of LKKR2 may rescue neurons that are dying due to a type of Parkinson’s disease that is caused by a single genetic ...

Enzymes play a key role in cellular metabolic processes. To enable the quantitative assessment of these processes, researchers need to know the so-called 'turnover number' (for short: kcat) of the ...

These enzymes are important for cleaning up the cellular environment, and they also set the threshold for what is considered an infection or not. I'm hoping someday we may be able to help patients ...

In this model, an enzyme’s active site is a specific shape, and only the substrate will fit into it, ... Since they are not destroyed during the process, a cell can reuse each enzyme repeatedly.

A RIPE team has developed a modeling framework connecting enzyme activity related to photosynthesis to yield. This is the first time a model has tied the dynamic photosynthetic pathways directly ...

Both enzymes degrade nucleic acids via a two-step process. “We call this process a two-step catalysis: bite down and release,” says Yuan. “In the first step, the enzyme bites down on the DNA strand ...

An enzyme called Fic, whose biochemical role was discovered at UT Southwestern more than a dozen years ago, appears to play a crucial part in guiding the cellular response to stress, a new study ...

They use machine learning, computer models, and “cell-free systems” to predict how enzymes will behave. This lets them test thousands of designs on a computer before building the best ones in ...
