In living organisms, there are many chemical reactions taking place. These reactions have many different functions, including breaking down the food we eat and getting energy from the broken down food ...

RNA enzymes (ribozymes) have remarkably diverse biological roles despite having limited chemical diversity. Protein enzymes enhance their reactivity through recruitment of cofactors; likewise, the ...

Many enzymes require cofactors such as nicotinamide adenosine dinucleotide (NAD +) or nicotinamide adenosine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP +) to shuttle electrons between reactions. Artificial redox ...

The research, published in The FEBS Journal, improves understanding of classical homocystinuria, a hereditary metabolic disorder, and proposes new potential therapeutic approaches. This genetically ...

Enzymes help with specific functions that are vital to the operation and overall health of the human body. They help speed up chemical reactions and are essential for respiration, digestion, muscle ...
