For the first time, the structure of a DNA enzyme complex implicated in infertility and cancer has been obtained using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). A collaboration of researchers, led by ...

Alcohol consumption leads to the formation of a toxic compound called acetaldehyde, which damages DNA. A research team from ...

A new method has enabled the natural structure of particularly large and complex enzymes to be revealed. Scientists at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) and TU Berlin have published ...

Usually enzyme complexes make multistep processes easier by catalyzing sequential reactions in which the product of one enzyme becomes the substrate for the next. In a new finding, researchers report ...

Researchers have captured real-time "molecular movies" showing how an enzyme changes shape during catalysis. The study was ...

Using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM), the Kanazawa University team led by Mikihiro Shibata filmed the dynamic movements of CaMKII at the single-molecule level. The images revealed that a ...

Researchers at the University of Basel have repurposed a natural enzyme so that it catalyzes a highly challenging chemical reaction. Their approach opens new possibilities for synthesizing complex ...

Chemists have efficiently created three families of complex, oxygen-containing molecules that are normally obtainable only from plants. These molecules, called terpenes, are potential starting points ...

A new method has enabled the natural structure of particularly large and complex enzymes to be revealed. Scientists have investigated a multi-enzyme complex that plays an essential role in metabolism ...
