Cytochrome P450 enzymes constitute a superfamily of haem-containing proteins that catalyse the oxidation of a wide range of exogenous and endogenous compounds. Their function is fundamental to the ...

Professor Nicolas Doucet and his team at Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) made a major breakthrough earlier this year in the field of evolutionary conservation of molecular ...

Researchers synthesize enzymes to learn more about a signaling protein involved in the development of muscle, bone and blood in vertebrate embryos. A team of bioengineers at the University of Texas at ...

Structural models of PLD3 and PLD4, enzymes that degrade nucleic acids in the cytoplasm. The enzymes' active (or binding) sites are indicated with black arrows. LA JOLLA, CA—When nucleic acids like ...

Enzymes are proteins that facilitate biochemical reactions by acting as a catalyst, and thus, their expression and activity have a strong influence on the reactions taking place within cells. As ...
