A new artificial intelligence tool can predict the functions of enzymes based on their amino acid sequences, even when the enzymes are unstudied or poorly understood. Researchers said the AI tool, ...

Uteroplacental insufficiency and subsequent intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) affects postnatal metabolism. In juvenile rats, IUGR alters skeletal muscle mitochondrial gene expression and reduces ...

Enzymes help with specific functions that are vital to the operation and overall health of the body. They help speed up chemical reactions in the human body. They are essential for respiration, ...

Researchers participating in the Enzyme Function Initiative (EFI) have used a computationally rich metabolite-docking strategy to sift through a protein’s potential metabolic partners and predict its ...

Enzymes are the molecule factories in biological cells. However, which basic molecular building blocks they use to assemble target molecules is often unknown and difficult to measure. An international ...

In addition to their canonical roles in glycolysis, recent studies gradually uncovered some non-metabolic functions of glycolytic enzymes in tumorigenesis (Table 1), providing important insights into ...

Doctors have long treated heart attacks, improved asthma symptoms, and cured impotence by increasing levels of a single molecule in the body: nitric oxide. The tiny molecule can change how proteins ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new structure determination method using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy which shows how different parts of complex ...
