Researchers have made a major breakthrough earlier this year in the field of evolutionary conservation of molecular dynamics in enzymes. Their work points to potential applications in health, ...

A new artificial intelligence tool can predict the functions of enzymes based on their amino acid sequences, even when the enzymes are unstudied or poorly understood. Researchers said the AI tool, ...

Researchers at the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, Karolinska Institutet have captured the first detailed molecular snapshots of human polynucleotide phosphorylase (hPNPase) in action, ...

A new study from Karolinska Institutet shows that an enzyme in the liver may partly explain sex differences in the body's handling of cholesterol and the risk of developing atherosclerosis. The ...

How do related proteins develop different functions? This is the question investigated by a research team involving Kiel University, DESY and the Center for Structural Systems Biology (CSSB). Led by ...

Most bacteria live outside human cells. Mycoplasma penetrans does not. Instead, it inserts a spear-like structure into a ...

The assay also allowed the scientists to identify the downstream mechanisms by which NAT10 induces cancer cell proliferation and tumor growth. Through its RNA helicase function, they found that NAT10 ...

A person can have hepatitis C with no symptoms. Liver enzyme tests can help detect and diagnose a hepatitis C infection by showing liver damage and inflammation. Hepatitis C is a contagious liver ...

Professor Nicolas Doucet and his team at Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) made a major breakthrough earlier this year in the field of evolutionary conservation of molecular ...
