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 ...

Enzymes, nature's impressive catalysts, play indispensable roles in numerous fundamental biological processes. Understanding the intricate design of enzymes down to the atomic level is the key to ...

The finding gives researchers insight into dopamine beta-hydroxylase, an enzyme that balances the activity of two key brain-signaling molecules ...

By revealing the architecture of an essential enzyme in a parasite, Dartmouth researchers are helping address a public health issue.

The first structure of a lipin enzyme, which carries out an important step in the production of triglycerides, the main reservoir for long-term energy storage, will help scientists to better ...

Scientists have unsuccessfully tried to create the first visual structure, a lipin enzyme since these enzymes were identified in 2001.

The structure shows that the enzyme splits hydrogen in a different way to the other two hydrogenases. Normally, a molecule of hydrogen is split by a metal at the centre of the enzyme, leaving ...

Researchers at UC Santa Cruz have determined the structure of a key part of the enzyme telomerase, which is active in most cancers and enables cancer cells to proliferate indefinitely. The new ...

UCSC researchers have determined the three-dimensional structure of an RNA enzyme, or "ribozyme," that carries out a fundamental reaction required to make new RNA molecules. Their results provide ...
