Inhibitors can be used to stop an enzyme from binding to its substrate. As a result, inhibitors can directly control the progress of a metabolic pathway.

Metabolic pathways can be reversible or irreversible. Almost all pathways are reversible. If a specific enzyme or substrate isn’t available in a pathway then sometimes an end product can still ...

Metabolic pathways are enzyme-mediated biochemical reactions that lead to biosynthesis (anabolism) or breakdown (catabolism) of natural product small molecules within a cell or tissue. The ...

A Stanford-trained doctor shares why metabolic dysfunction is behind most of the diseases we're seeing in the modern world.

Aging is a complex process that has long puzzled scientists. A recent study published in Engineering proposes a new theory called pro-aging metabolic reprogramming (PAMRP), which could change our ...
