Using a series of more than 1,000 X-ray snapshots of the shapeshifting of enzymes in action, researchers at Stanford University have illuminated one of the great mysteries of life—how enzymes are able ...

A chance discovery at Nagoya University in Japan has shown that a well-known brain enzyme has a hidden ability: It builds a ...

A team has used neutron crystallography to image all of the atoms in a radical intermediate of a copper amine oxidase enzyme. They disclosed previously unknown details, such as precise conformational ...

A pair of enzymes from the human gut microbiome can convert type A red blood cells to type O red blood cells. These enzymes might, with further development, help make universal blood that could be ...

The latest short science news items from C&EN. The team proposes that SAM plays a dual role in the reaction. It donates a methyl group to the enzyme’s cobalamin cofactor and then serves as a base when ...

Description Microbial metabolism represents one of the most chemically diverse and functionally complex systems in nature. Despite decades of research, a ...

The Biochemistry major is designed to equip students with a broad understanding of the chemical and molecular events involved in biological processes. The Biochemistry major provides a foundation for ...

For the first time, researchers have successfully used computational simulations to modify an enzyme’s structure to increase the optimum temperature of a reaction. Researchers at Uppsala University ...

The University of Sheffield, UK is inviting applications for its BSc Biochemistry course starting in September 2026.
