A spoonful of sugar may make the medicine go down, but understanding what happens to that sugar in the cell is far more complicated than simple digestion, according to researchers. For sugars to ...

Enzymes are the molecular machines that power life; they build and break down molecules, copy DNA, digest food, and drive virtually every chemical reaction in our cells. For decades, scientists have ...

Researchers have identified an enzyme that controls the maturation and long-term survival of tissue-resident macrophages.

Enzymes, which are crucial to controlling how cells replicate in the human body, could be the very ingredient that encourages DNA to spontaneously mutate -- causing potentially permanent genetic ...

In the human body, molecules known as kinases propagate signals within and between cells, relaying signals that allow cells to respond to changes in the environment. But there are hundreds of ...

Researchers found that mice in which the IDO2 gene was silenced exhibited behaviors consistent with autism spectrum disorder. Further experiments shed light on the possible underlying biochemical ...

By resurrecting a 3.2-billion-year-old enzyme and studying it inside living microbes, researchers at the University of ...

Catalase enzymes play a pivotal role in cellular defence by decomposing hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen, thereby mitigating oxidative stress. These oxidoreductases are ubiquitously found ...

Scientists have uncovered how cannabis evolved the ability to make its most famous compounds—THC, CBD, and CBC—by recreating ancient enzymes that existed millions of years ago. These early enzymes ...
