Structural models of PLD3 and PLD4, enzymes that degrade nucleic acids in the cytoplasm. The enzymes' active (or binding) sites are indicated with black arrows. LA JOLLA, CA—When nucleic acids like ...

Kopan and colleagues previously found the enzyme also is required for another protein called Notch to function. Notch helps produce many cell types and, using a thymus organ culture model system, ...

A team from the University of Illinois has developed a modeling framework connecting enzyme activity related to photosynthesis to yield. This is the first time a model has tied the dynamic ...

Drug molecules and biofuels can be made to order by living cell factories, where biological enzymes do the job. Now researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have developed a computer model ...

Ridge Biotechnologies (Ridge Bio), a company pioneering enzyme and targeted drug design to power the next wave of precision ...

The muscle destruction associated with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), the most common childhood form of muscular dystrophy, is halted in mice when supplemental amounts of a naturally occurring ...

responsible for Alzheimer's -- connected to an inhibitor. The memapsin 2 inhibitor was created in a test tube by have too much A-beta, which causes plaques and tangles that kill brain cells used for ...

The inhibition of an enzyme associated with neurodegeneration processes reduced the toxic effect of tau, one of the proteins that damage neurons in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). A group of scientists from ...
