Photodynamic therapy (PDT), characterized by its non-invasive nature and precise spatiotemporal selectivity, has garnered considerable attention for its applications in tumor and anti-infection ...

image: Synthesizing hybrid enzyme catalysts in situ to improve and expand enzymatic catalysis is an important way to address challenges of industrial biocatalysis. In this account, the construction ...

γ-Glutamylcysteine synthetase (γGCS), a rate-limiting enzyme in glutathione biosynthesis, plays a central role in glutathione homeostasis and is a target for development of potential therapeutic ...

Figure 1: Hydrolsysis of the acyl–enzyme intermediate formed between β-casomorphin-7 (YPFVEPI) and porcine pancreatic elastase. Here, we describe high resolution crystal structures for cryogenically ...

Scientists have developed a method with which an enzyme at work can be 'photographed'. Their method makes it possible to better understand the function of important biomolecules. The researchers also ...

A new study led by scientists at IUPUI and Indiana University Bloomington is the first to describe a biochemical mechanism that increases the activity of a molecule whose presence is observed in many ...

In plants, oxylipins regulate developmental processes and defense responses. The first specific step in the biosynthesis of the cyclopentanone class of oxylipins is catalyzed by allene oxide cyclase ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Bioorganic reactions, essentially the reactions that distinguish living systems from nonliving ones, will be the subject of an international symposium to be held at the University at ...

The enzyme Nocturnin, which governs daily tasks such as fat metabolism and energy usage, works in an entirely different way than previously thought, reported a team of researchers at Princeton ...
