Our immune systems weaken as we get older, making fewer cells that fight infection and help us recover from illness and injury. Scientists aren't completely sure why. They may have a better idea now, ...

Researchers from the International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Warsaw (IIMCB) have described a new mechanism ...

Additionally, by precisely modifying specific protein sites to regulate enzyme function, it could make significant contributions to drug development and biological function research. Professor Oh ...

Scientists discovered that a key shift in enzyme function occurred over evolutionary time due to amino acid changes distant from the active site. These mutations lowered activation energy ...

Taken together, these findings suggest that it may be possible to develop new therapies that disable some of the enzyme's disease-causing functions rapidly, while leaving its beneficial roles intact.

leading to an increasing interest in computational models for enzyme function prediction. However, the existing computational methods are insufficient and inefficient to exploit enzyme structure. In ...

More than 500 vital functions have been identified with the liver. Some of the more well-known functions include the following: Production of bile, which helps carry away waste and break down fats in ...
