Researchers identified SDR42E1 as a key regulator of vitamin D absorption and sterol metabolism in colorectal cancer cells.

A collaborative study from the University of Cologne has uncovered how a key mitochondrial protein, AIFM1 (Apoptosis-Inducing ...

This study explores the use of polarized second-harmonic generation (pSHG) to investigate myosin conformation in the relaxed state, differentiating between the actin-available, disordered (ON) state ...

High-resolution cryo-electron microscopy makes it possible to study complex enzymatic processes in detail. With this method, ...

An international research team has published a study in the journal The FEBS Journal that significantly advances the ...

A molecular motor (blue) is rotated by oxidation with an enzyme (green), followed by reduction with ammonia borane (yellow).

Scientists at MIT have turbocharged one of nature’s most sluggish but essential enzymes—rubisco—by applying a cutting-edge evolution technique in living cells. Normally prone to wasteful reactions ...

Protons that re-enter the mitochondrial matrix through complex V (mitochondrial ATP synthase) liberate energy that phosphorylates ADP, regenerating ATP.

Scientists at The University of Texas at Arlington have identified a new enzyme that can be "turned off" to help the body maintain healthy cholesterol levels-a significant development that could lead ...

The scientists then found a 25% decrease in ATP, suggesting that cancer cells largely depend on these waves to fuel and execute their daily energy-intensive activities.

Reactions involving the transfer of a phosphoryl (−PO32–) group are fundamental to cellular metabolism. These reactions are catalyzed by enzymes, often large and complex, belonging to the ...
