Standardized descriptors of function can be given at the biochemical level (as in the Enzyme Commission (E.C.) classification), the process or pathway level (as in the KEGG and BioCyc databases ...

Enzyme technology is undergoing the most profound and exciting transformation in its history, as was made clear at the Enzyme Engineering Conference held last month in Hawaii *. Fifteenth in the ...

when the enzymes function at a low level, ambiguous genitals form. AIS affects the section of the 46,XY population that is physically unable to react to androgens. In Complete AIS (CAIS), testes ...

We are specifically interested in how the convergence of these areas can lead to new opportunities to discover enzymes with improved properties and impart materials with biological function. Such ...

Biochemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have discovered a new subclass of trifunctional enzymes in ...

Catalase has an optimum pH of 9 and a working range of between pH 7-11. Most other enzymes function within a working pH range of about pH 5-9 with neutral pH 7 being the optimum.

reveal that metabolic enzymes known for their roles in energy production and nucleotide synthesis are taking on unexpected "second jobs" within the nucleus, orchestrating critical functions like ...
