When nucleic acids like DNA or RNA build up in a cell's cytoplasm, it sets off an alarm call for the immune system. Enzymes usually clear these nucleic acids before they cause an issue, but when these ...

In the last 40 years, scientists have perfected ways to determine the knot-like structures of enzymes, but they’ve been stumped trying to translate the structure of enzymes into an understanding of ...

Membrane-associated proteins play a vital role in a variety of cellular processes, yet little is known about the membrane-association mechanism. Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A 2 (Lp-PLA 2) is ...

We show that generalized linear models are well suited to the analysis of enzyme-kinetic data, and illustrate the process of modelling using data published in this journal. Journal Information ...

A naturally occurring human enzyme -called cyclophilin 40 or CyP40- can unravel protein aggregates that contribute to both Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, according to a study. The ...
