After a long search, RIKEN researchers have identified an enzyme crucial for keeping lipid-linked sugar chains in check in yeast cells. This finding, published in the Journal of Cell Biology, reveals ...

A team has used neutron crystallography to image all of the atoms in a radical intermediate of a copper amine oxidase enzyme. They disclosed previously unknown details, such as precise conformational ...

A team of biochemists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, has developed a faster way to identify molecules in the ...

The latest short science news items from C&EN. The team proposes that SAM plays a dual role in the reaction. It donates a methyl group to the enzyme’s cobalamin cofactor and then serves as a base when ...

Halogenated compounds are widespread in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. But the reagents used to make them can produce hazardous waste and mixtures of compounds. Enzymes can provide a ...

For the first time, researchers have successfully used computational simulations to modify an enzyme’s structure to increase the optimum temperature of a reaction. Researchers at Uppsala University ...

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Dec. 12, 2025 — Biochemistry students at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) will showcase their research and persuasive skills during the annual “My Enzyme ...

Man prides himself upon his growing mastery over nature, but in the ultimate biochemical analysis nature remains the master of man. With their most sophisticated laboratory glassware and corrosive ...

Using a series of more than 1,000 X-ray snapshots of the shapeshifting of enzymes in action, researchers at Stanford University have illuminated one of the great mysteries of life – how enzymes are ...
