Macrolide antibiotics like azithromycin rely on a complex ring structure that’s powerful but notoriously hard to control.

Kanazawa University, have captured real-time images showing how a key brain enzyme organizes itself to help memory formation.

Macrolides are an important class of antibiotics that includes drugs such as azithromycin and erythromycin, which are widely ...

A research team at Leibniz-HKI has described a new enzyme that renders the highly toxic molecule malleicyprol harmless. Malleicyprol is considered an important virulence factor of Burkholderia ...

SANTA CRUZ, CA — Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have determined the three-dimensional structure of an RNA enzyme, or “ribozyme,” that carries out a fundamental reaction ...

Life has evolved over billions of years, adapting to the changing environment. Similarly, enzymes—proteins that speed up biochemical reactions (catalysis) in cells—have adapted to the habitats of ...

Ensemble map of protein structure. The team’s approach integrates different NMR data to create a map of how different parts of a molecular structure move. Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo ...

For the first time, the structure of a DNA enzyme complex implicated in infertility and cancer has been obtained using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). A collaboration of researchers, led by ...

A growing body of research suggests that combining enzymes with biochar, a carbon-rich material made from agricultural and ...
