Photodynamic therapy (PDT), characterized by its non-invasive nature and precise spatiotemporal selectivity, has garnered considerable attention for its applications in tumor and anti-infection ...
Enzyme mechanisms are often probed by structure-informed point mutations and measurement of their effects on enzymatic properties to test mechanistic hypotheses. In many cases, the challenge is to ...
image: Synthesizing hybrid enzyme catalysts in situ to improve and expand enzymatic catalysis is an important way to address challenges of industrial biocatalysis. In this account, the construction ...
γ-Glutamylcysteine synthetase (γGCS), a rate-limiting enzyme in glutathione biosynthesis, plays a central role in glutathione homeostasis and is a target for development of potential therapeutic ...
Life just got more difficult for those fighting antibiotic-resistant superbugs. Researchers at McGill University have ...
Pyruvate formate-lyase (PFL) from Escherichia coli uses a radical mechanism to reversibly cleave the C1-C2 bond of pyruvate using the Gly 734 radical and two cysteine residues (Cys 418, Cys 419). We ...
This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We have used chemical protein synthesis and advanced physical methods to probe dynamics-function correlations for the HIV-1 protease, an ...
Scientists have developed a method with which an enzyme at work can be 'photographed'. Their method makes it possible to better understand the function of important biomolecules. The researchers also ...
