Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new structure determination method using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy which shows how different parts of complex ...

Enzymes help with specific functions that are vital to the operation and overall health of the body. They help speed up chemical reactions in the human body. They are essential for respiration, ...

Healthy cells are constantly breaking down proteins and building up new ones with the help of enzymes aptly named unfoldases, because they unravel proteins tagged for destruction or recycling. Now, a ...

Reframing enzyme behavior A study led by researchers from Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at Institute of Science Tokyo, explains the biological consequences of enhanced enzyme diffusion or ...

Focusing on an enzyme in yeast, they demonstrated how contrasts in atomic scale motions impact their function. The method promises unprecedented access to the mechanisms by which biomolecules work, ...

Scientists show enhanced enzyme diffusion after catalysis actively drives reactions away from equilibrium, offering a new role for enzymes in metabolic regulation and a possible missing link in ...

Ensemble map of protein structure. The team’s approach integrates different NMR data to create a map of how different parts of a molecular structure move. Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo ...

Researchers show that enzymes with enhanced enzyme diffusion can function as Maxwell's demon by utilising information from past reactions to actively shift away from equilibrium and control the ...
