"When I say enzymes speed up reactions, I mean as in a trillion-trillion times faster for some reactions," noted senior author of the study, Dan Herschlag, professor of biochemistry in the School ...

Instead of the enzyme mechanism described in biochemistry text-books, hen lysozyme hydrolysis was postulated to occur by a ring-opening mechanism based on substrate interactions defined by the active ...

Researchers have managed to resurrect 500-million-year-old proteins and demonstrate their ability to withstand high ...

These electrodes function like miniature biochemistry labs, using enzymes and helper molecules called cofactors to perform ...

Biochemistry is the study of the structure and function of biological molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids. Biochemistry is also used to describe techniques suited ...

For example, Redox Biochemistry provides a mechanistic description of a recently discovered enzyme, sulfiredoxin, which functions to reduce cysteine residues that have been overoxidized to ...

For organs to develop, grow and regenerate, cells must proliferate. But when that process goes awry, leading to uncontrolled cell growth, cancer can emerge.

Allison Saunders joined Lycoming College after teaching biochemistry at Mansfield University. Saunders received her doctorate from Penn State University where her research focused on isolating and ...

Researchers have discovered that an enzyme can serve as an ideal target for developing new therapeutics against Lyme disease, and most likely other tick-borne diseases as well.
