Researchers at the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, Karolinska Institutet have captured the first detailed molecular ...

Neurodegenerative disorders are pressing global health challenges that stem from progressive neuronal dysfunction and loss. While the central roles of ...

Israeli and European scientists have discovered a new molecular mechanism linking aging and neurodegenerative diseases to ...

Dehalogenase enzymes are specialised biocatalysts that mediate the removal of halogen atoms from organic compounds, a reaction known as dehalogenation. This process is critical for environmental ...

Enzymes are vital to metabolism and drive countless biological processes in humans, plants, and industry. Yet, when overwhelmed by excess substrate, some enzymes slow down — a phenomenon known as ...

Nicotiana benthamiana plants in a lab at UC Davis. Plants form new branches when a hormone called strigolactone breaks down. UC Davis plant biologists have now defined the enzymes that break down ...

An international research team has published a study in the journal The FEBS Journal that significantly advances the knowledge of a rare hereditary metabolic disease: classical homocystinuria. The ...

A subtle flaw in a single brain enzyme now looks like one of the earliest sparks that can set dementia in motion. Instead of ...

Every year, thousands of tons of brown algae are extracted from the seabed to obtain compounds such as alginates, a polymer composed of sugars that has high density and strength, offering potential ...
