cell motility and membrane resealing, but also others, such as replication and transcription. Taking the motor proteins as an example of mechanochemical enzymes, it is clear that both physical and ...

Researchers try multiple means to get high-quality membrane proteins for X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy studies. As much as 30% of human genes code for ...

Most of these processes are performed by proteins embedded within the cellular membrane. While some proteins only cross the membrane once, many do so several times, like a thread being woven into ...

Our laboratory uses a combination of structural biology and biophysical techniques to discover how ion channels and membrane-embedded enzymes function at the atomic level. The proteins we study are ...

These enzymes play essential roles in signal transduction, protein secretion, membrane homeostasis, protein quality control, viral protein processing and many other essential physiological functions.

They are shortcutting the process nature has gone through over the ages as DNA mutates by chance and new enzymes result, sometimes with important results. “It is the structure of the proteins ...

These carbohydrates, proteins and fats are digested into nutrients and absorbed into the body. Enzymes are biological catalysts which speed up reactions including digestion. VOICEOVER: Enzymes of ...

Enzymes are amazing catalysts. These proteins are made of nothing more than a handful of Earth-abundant elements, and they promote a vast array of reactions, convert chemical energy to physical ...

These carbohydrates, proteins and fats are digested into nutrients and absorbed into the body. Enzymes are biological catalysts which speed up reactions including digestion. VOICEOVER: Enzymes of ...

Deubiquitinases (DUBs) are enzymes used by cells to trim protein modifications made from the protein ubiquitin, and thereby regulate proteins. Malfunctioning of DUBs could lead to diseases ...

Enzymes are, after all, just proteins made up of long strings of amino acids. DNA directs the production of the strings. Change the DNA; change the enzymes. "It is the structure of the proteins ...
