Nitrate - known, for example, as plant fertilizer - is a nutrient for many biological processes such as plant growth. Nitrate salts occur on earth in large quantities (approximately 600 billion tons).

The structure of a key enzyme involved in protein production is revealed by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Using cryo-EM, researchers at Goethe University (Frankfurt, Germany) shed light on ...

Scientists studying a COVID-19 coronavirus enzyme at temperatures ranging from frosty to human-body warm discovered subtle structural shifts that offer clues about how the enzyme works. The findings ...

UPTON, NY—Scientists studying a COVID-19 coronavirus enzyme at temperatures ranging from frosty to human-body warm discovered subtle structural shifts that offer clues about how the enzyme works. The ...

While most enzymatic activity is conducted through chemical binding interactions between molecules, in some cases, the mere presence of an enzyme can affect intracellular functions. While exploring ...

Panel a: This is a cartoon "ribbon" diagram of the structure of Rumi in complex with the donor substrate UDP-Glucose (UDP-Glc, shown in cyan) and acceptor substrate hFA9 EGF (dark green). The spheres ...

Although many organisms capture and respond to sunlight, enzymes - proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions - are rarely driven by light. A new study captures the full cycle of complex structural ...
