A Brandeis University study published in Nature this week advances fundamental understanding of the dynamic personalities of proteins and proposes that these enzymes are much more mobile, or plastic, ...

In a new study in Nature, Brandeis University Howard Hughes Medical Investigator Dr. Dorothee Kern and collaborators pull back the curtain on the secret lives of enzymes, the ubiquitous proteins that ...

Molecular biology has transitioned to a new era where precise genetic manipulation plays a critical role in research, medicine, and biotechnology. Among the vital tools in this field are cloning ...

ScienceDaily (Nov. 6, 2011) - In many pharmaceutical company and university laboratories, scientists are looking closely at kinase complexes because the enzymes play key roles in essential cell ...

All living things are made of carbon, and sugars, e.g. glucose, are a very common source of it. Consequently, most cells are good at eating sugars, using enzymes to digest them through a series of ...

In many pharmaceutical company and university laboratories, scientists are looking closely at kinase complexes because the enzymes play key roles in essential cell functions. By taking unusual steps ...

The University of Liverpool and Newcastle researchers have uncovered how bacterial organelles assemble, opening new routes for bioengineering and climate innovation. The collaborative team has ...

The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHc) plays a key role in metabolism by linking glycolysis to the tricarboxylic acid cycle and converting pyruvate into acetyl-CoA. However, due to its large size ...

Alternating conformations and switching tasks, a dimer’s oppositely oriented halves relieve the cellular stress that can build up when molecular oxygen is used for power generation. When one half of ...
