Researchers have found a way to trap telomerase, the enzyme cancer cells rely on for endless division, in a stalled and ...

For organs to develop, grow and regenerate, cells must proliferate. But when that process goes awry, leading to uncontrolled cell growth, cancer can emerge. New CU Boulder research, published in the ...

Researchers at the University of Iowa have worked out the exact function of an enzyme that is critical for normal muscle structure and is involved in several muscular dystrophies. The findings, which ...

Enzymes accelerate reactions by helping to lower the activation energy needed to start them. But how enzymes achieve this has been the subject of intense debate. A research team from Texas and China ...

New research shows that oncolytic viruses, which are engineered to destroy cancer cells, might be more effective in treating deadly brain tumors if equipped with an enzyme that helps them penetrate ...

AMES, Iowa – The coronavirus that causes COVID-19 has demonstrated a stubborn ability to resist most nucleoside antiviral treatments, but a new study led by an Iowa State University scientist could ...

"Using a combination of enzyme activity and metabolite profiling, we determined that this protein-whose function was previously unknown-serves as a key regulator of a lipid signaling network that ...

Collagen is an important protein that helps build the tissues of humans and animals. It is very strong because it is made of ...

This study looked at the possibility of using changes in genes and an enzyme to decide the best treatment to give people for advanced bowel cancer. Doctors can do tests to find out the levels of ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Sugars known as glycans form dense envelopes around cells. But they’re often ignored in biological investigations because, unlike DNA, proteins and other cellular components, tools to ...
