A team from the University of Illinois has developed a modeling framework connecting enzyme activity related to photosynthesis to yield. This is the first time a model has tied the dynamic ...

Enzymes are crucial in numerous biological processes, with the Enzyme Commission (EC) number being a commonly used method for defining enzyme function. However, current EC number prediction ...

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 ...

Genome-scale metabolic models (GEMs) are computational representations that enable mathematical exploration of metabolic behaviors within cellular and environmental constraints. Despite their wide ...

This schematic illustrates how an annotated genome is converted into a genome-scale metabolic model (GEM) and further refined into an enzyme-constrained genome-scale metabolic model (ecGEM). By ...

Drug molecules and biofuels can be made to order by living cell factories, where biological enzymes do the job. Now researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have developed a computer model ...

Enzymes are amazing catalysts. These proteins are made of nothing more than a handful of Earth-abundant elements, and they promote a vast array of reactions, convert chemical energy to physical motion ...

Membrane-associated proteins play a vital role in a variety of cellular processes, yet little is known about the membrane-association mechanism. Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A 2 (Lp-PLA 2) is ...

Mathematical modeling helps researchers to understand how enzymes in the body work to ensure normal functioning. The models also can show how genetic mutations alter the enzymes' behavior in ways that ...
