Enzymes are proteins that can change shape and therefore become active or inactive. An activator molecule (green pentagon) can bind to an enzyme (light green puzzle shape) and change its overall shape ...

Researchers from North Carolina State University and the University of Texas at Austin defined the structure of a substrate-bound iron 2-oxoglutarate (Fe/2OG) enzyme to explore whether these enzymes ...

These are lessons developed by SEP to teach various biotechnology skills and concepts from gel electrophoresis, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), bacterial transformation, and enzyme-linked ...

Digestive enzymes play a crucial role in breaking down food into smaller, absorbable molecules, and certain foods can naturally supplement these enzymes. Fruits like pineapple, papaya, mangoes, and ...

Researchers defined the structure of a substrate-bound iron 2-oxoglutarate (Fe/2OG) enzyme to explore whether these enzymes could be used to create a wide array of molecules. They saw that Fe/2OG ...
