Healthy cells are constantly breaking down proteins and building up new ones with the help of enzymes aptly named unfoldases, because they unravel proteins tagged for destruction or recycling. Now, a ...

A new microscopy method enables researchers to visualize the activity of the enzymes caspase-3 and alkaline phosphatase in various biological samples (Nat. Methods 2024, DOI: ...

Hedgehog proteins are some of the most important molecules in biology. These proteins help regulate cell growth, specialization, and patterning in the development of embryos by acting as messengers ...

Researchers have captured a bacterial enzyme in the act of encircling collagen and pulling a single strand through its ...

Researchers have observed enzymes breaking down cellulose to aid the production of biofuels. Biofuels obtained from biomass are becoming increasingly important. Apart from biomethane, however, they ...

Scientists have found a novel way of monitoring individual enzymes as they chomp through fat. The method offers far greater insight into how enzymes function and opens up the possibility of tailoring ...

THE ABILITY TO OBSERVE the binding and release of an inhibitor to a single enzyme molecule opens many doors. It can uncover mechanistic information that is masked by analysis of bulk solutions. It may ...

The construction of a new multimodal optical microscope, SCATTIRSTORM, that could enable more efficient bioenergy production, is the focus of a three-year, $1.5 million, U.S. Department of Energy ...

News-Medical speaks to Robert Schmalzigaug from Evident, to explore the field of bioluminescence imaging and the applications of the LV200 microscope. Bioluminescence is a natural phenomenon in which ...

Biofuels obtained from biomass are becoming increasingly important. Apart from biomethane, however, they cannot be produced efficiently, cheaply and sustainably since the current technological ...
