image: A set of biochemical processes crucial to cellular life on Earth could have originated in chemical reactions taking place on the early Earth four billion years ago, believes a group of ...
High-resolution cryo-electron microscopy makes it possible to study complex enzymatic processes in detail. With this method, a research team of the University of Potsdam and Humboldt-Universität ...
Metabolism is central to cellular function, growth and survival. Hundreds of chemical reactions occur simultaneously to process energy sources and to provide precursor molecules for cell construction ...
Two simple molecules can react to form most of the intermediates in an analog of the modern-day Krebs cycle, without the need for enzymes or metals, according to a new study (Nat. Chem. 2020, DOI: ...
A metabolic enzyme studied for over seven decades has a hidden second function - it can unwind RNA and promote cell cycle progression, an additional function beyond its role in energy production, ...
Study published in “Science” journal disproves conventional wisdom: citrate synthase can also cleave citrate and not only build it up The citrate cycle: most people will probably remember this ...
Soil carbon pool is the largest carbon pool in terrestrial ecosystems. Its dynamic change and driving mechanism are the focus and hotspot of terrestrial ecosystem carbon cycle and global change ...
A chance discovery at Nagoya University in Japan has shown that a well-known brain enzyme has a hidden ability: It builds a ...
Imagine trying to bake a cake without heat. You’ve got all the ingredients like flour, eggs and sugar, but nothing is happening. That’s what your body would be like without enzymes: potential but no ...
