FOR a long time two viewpoints regarding the mechanism of enzymatic activity have profoundly influenced our conceptions in this field. To Oscar Loew is due the credit for the original suggestion that ...

WITH our present knowledge of enzyme processes any conception of their mechanism must be essentially highly speculative. In the work under notice the author makes no claim to deal comprehensively with ...

This release is available in French. Scientists at the Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer (IRIC) of the Université de Montréal have discovered a key mechanism used by cells to efficiently ...

The function of an enzyme, critical to most forms of life, has been revealed. A research team, led by the John Innes Centre found that the enzyme DNA topoisomerase VI (topo VI) performs a critical ...

Cancer cells are pretty bold and clever—they hijack cellular survival and healing processes in order to fuel their growth, ...

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterial pathogen that is often associated with healthcare settings but can cause serious infections in anyone. These illnesses are difficult ...

Gibberellic acid (GA) enhances the synthesis of α-amylase and ribonuclease in isolated aleurone layers and this process is inhibited by abscisin. Removal of gibberellic acid in mid-course of α-amylase ...

In the human body, proteins called enzymes help speed up chemical reactions that are vital for life. After you eat, enzymes help your body break down food and obtain energy. Enzymes are also ...

A new study finds enhanced activity of a specific enzyme drives spinocerebellar ataxia type 14, which suggests inhibiting the enzyme may have therapeutic potential. pinocerebellar ataxias are a group ...
