Since most reactions in your body’s cells need special enzymes, each cell contains thousands of different enzymes. Enzymes let chemical reactions in the body happen millions of times faster than ...

The study, titled "A family of bacterial Josephin-like deubiquitinases with an irreversible cleavage mode," conducted by the Cologne research team led by Professor Kay Hofmann, has been published in ...

Animals, plants and many other living organisms inhale oxygen to "burn" (oxidize) compounds like sugar into CO2 and water—a ...

or enzyme activation, respectively. Because membrane receptors interact with both extracellular signals and molecules within the cell, they permit signaling molecules to affect cell function ...

These enzymes opened the path to a powerful research tool that scientists later used not only to sequence genomes, but also to create the first synthetic cell, two scientific research milestones ...

Actually, that's DNA's main purpose: to make proteins within the cell. These proteins, which include enzymes that do specialized jobs, control the activities of the cell. Different cells have ...

Organelles in cells were originally often independent cells, which were incorporated by host cells and lost their ...

Biology might ultimately provide a solution, however. Researchers have identified bacteria that evolved the ability to digest ...

Using computational tools and virtual screening, researchers at the Center for Redox Processes in Biomedicine (Redoxoma) have ...

Scientists at Case Western Reserve University and University Hospitals have made an important discovery that could change how ...

NYU scientists have discovered that cancer cells work together to withstand challenging conditions, revealing new ...
