Deubiquitinases (DUBs) are enzymes used by cells to trim protein modifications made from the protein ubiquitin, and thereby regulate proteins. Malfunctioning of DUBs could lead to diseases ...

Pulling proteins through a pore dissolves aggregates. Enzyme-like effects. A simpler form of the model also enables the researchers to see how enzyme-like “saturation” in each step affects the overall ...

Replacing the iron atom in Fe-porphyrin IX proteins with a noble-metal atom enables the creation of enzymes that catalyse reactions not catalysed by native Fe-enzymes or other metalloenzymes; this ...

A series of bacterial receptor proteins have been 'redesigned' by computer so that they bind molecules that are quite different from their natural ligands. The approach might be useful for ...

A research group have succeeded in greatly increasing the catalytic activity of Rubisco, the enzyme which fixes carbon from carbon dioxide in plant photosynthesis. The research team also ...

Their results showed that OGT played an important catalytic role, and it wasn't just potential structural properties that made it important to cell function. The study is published in the journal ...

In this image, the protein components of the ribosome are shown in yellow; its RNA is in grey. What should be obvious is that the image of rRNA as a scaffold for proteins has it exactly backwards.

Cornell University materials scientists have incorporated tiny magnetic particles of iron oxide into the walls of porous ceramic structures in a simple "one-pot" self-assembly approach. Such ...
