These CENP-A proteins ensure that divided genetic information is kept intact during mitosis.

How does your body speed up these important reactions? The answer is enzymes. Enzymes in our bodies are catalysts that speed up reactions by helping to lower the activation energy needed to start a ...

regulate aspects of human physiology throughout the body. In fact, the human version of this enzyme is the target of a number ...

In this case, an enzyme called CNDP2 joins BHB to amino acids. Furthermore, the most abundant BHB-amino acid, BHB-Phe, can ...

Secreted at various points along the digestive tract, enzymes break down large molecules of food into smaller molecules that the body is able to absorb. Once we swallow, digestion becomes involuntary.

One enzyme is therefore specific to one substrate's chemical reaction, or type of chemical reaction. The human body is maintained at 37°C as this is the temperature at which the enzymes in our ...

In a study of 24-month-old rats, equivalent to human centenarians, the team blocked one of the digestive enzymes, pancreatic trypsin, using a two-week oral treatment with a serine protease ...

New research traces the genetic underpinnings of the enzyme amylase ... the digestion of carbs—maybe it also helps the human body extract more energy from carbs, which would have been useful ...

and regulate aspects of human physiology throughout the body. In fact, the human version of this enzyme is the target of a number of investigational drugs, because it plays roles in chronic pain ...

Determining enzyme mechanisms includes determining their kinetic and thermodynamic properties. Pascoa et al. reveal structures of the human ceramide synthase 6 and elucidate the enzyme’s mechanism.
