The secret behind NeuO (neuronal selective fluorescent probe), which accurately identifies and fluorescently stains neurons only, has finally been unveiled. A research team led by Professor Young-Tae ...

The structure of enzymes determines how they control vital processes such as digestion or immune response. This is because the protein compounds are not rigid, but can change their shape through ...

By revealing the architecture of an essential enzyme in a parasite, Dartmouth researchers are helping address a public health issue.

Scientists studying a COVID-19 coronavirus enzyme at temperatures ranging from frosty to human-body warm discovered subtle structural shifts that offer clues about how the enzyme works. The ...

A Cornell-led collaboration has devised a potentially low-cost method for producing antibodies for therapeutic treatments.

Now the spotlight turns to propane and butane The enzyme structure illustrates how these microbes from geothermally active seeps became specialized in ethane capture.

UCSC researchers have determined the three-dimensional structure of an RNA enzyme, or "ribozyme," that carries out a fundamental reaction required to make new RNA molecules. Their results provide ...

A structural model of the telomerase enzyme shows how the binding domain (purple) tethers one end of the RNA component of the enzyme. (Image credit: Jansson et al., ) Researchers at UC Santa Cruz have ...

After elucidating the HDCR structure, the researchers reported that the enzyme is composed of long filaments that serve as electron-conducting "nanowires" and control conversion efficiency of the ...

A research team at the University of California, Riverside, has discovered the structure of a novel RNA-modifying enzyme, ZCCHC4, and identified the mechanism that controls how this enzyme ...
