For a decade, scientists have believed that plants sense temperature mainly through specialized proteins, and mainly at night ...

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

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 ...

Researchers at UT Arlington have discovered a key enzyme, IDO1, that when blocked, helps immune cells regain their ability to properly process cholesterol—something that breaks down during ...

Similar hydrolysis curves have been reported for several protein substrates, such as peanut (Jamdar et al., 2010), Jatropha curcas seed cake (Selanon et al., 2014), rice protein (Li et al., 2016) and ...

In this study, 22 phenolic compounds were investigated to inhibit the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Tannic acid showed the highest activity (IC50 = 230 μM). The IC50 values obtained for ...

Final DapA concentrations used in refolding assays were 250 nM. At specific time points, 10-μL aliquots of the refolding reaction were added to 240 μL of DapA assay buffer, which simultaneously ...

Enzyme Activity Analysis. For the enzyme activity assay, frozen pellets were thawed at room temperature. After being centrifuged at 3000 g for 10 min (4°C), 10–15 mL of supernatant was taken for ...

Human somatic angiotensin I-converting enzyme is a key zinc metallopeptidase in cardiovascular regulation that hydrolyzes angiotensin peptides (Ang I, Ang II), as well as other vasoactive peptides, ...

The findings show how these two enzymes work in tandem to process proteins, and may have implications for the study of diseases such as those linked to neurodegeneration.
