Scientists have identified a small flaw in the enzyme GPX4 that prevents neurons from defending themselves. This mutation, ...

ANN ARBOR, Mich.—Research aimed at teasing apart the workings of RNA enzymes eventually may lead to ways of monitoring fat metabolism and might even assist in the search for signs of life on Mars, ...

Researchers discovered that a tiny structural feature of the enzyme GPX4 helps keep neurons safe. A rare mutation removes this protection, allowing harmful molecules to damage cell membranes and ...

Researchers at Helmholtz Munich, the Technical University of Munich and the LMU University Hospital Munich uncovered a mechanism that protects nerve cells from premature cell death, known as ...

Enzymes are amazing catalysts. These proteins are made of nothing more than a handful of Earth-abundant elements, and they promote a vast array of reactions, convert chemical energy to physical motion ...

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, ...

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 ...

Of the many components in the cell thought to play a role in cancer, few have received more attention in recent years than an enzyme that has been dubbed a cellular fountain of youth. Known as ...

Enzymes perform many functions, including helping break down food for energy. In particular, proteolytic enzymes help break down and digest protein. They’re found in the body, as well as in certain ...

For a carbon-neutral bioeconomy, processes are needed that can efficiently capture CO2 and convert it into valuable products.
