Researchers 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 could be used to develop rapid, ...

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

A new artificial intelligence tool can predict the functions of enzymes based on their amino acid sequences, even when the enzymes are unstudied or poorly understood. Researchers said the AI tool, ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions report in the journal Nature Communications how a mutation in the enzyme SKD3 can cause a form of a genetic disease known as ...

New research led by scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) reveals that a human enzyme has changed little from its days as a bacterial enzyme. In fact, the enzyme appears to be unique in ...

Researchers participating in the Enzyme Function Initiative (EFI) have used a computationally rich metabolite-docking strategy to sift through a protein’s potential metabolic partners and predict its ...

October 30, 2008 — A pair of investigators studying HepA-related protein (HARP) ATPase, a protein associated with Schimke immuno-osseous dysplasia (SIOD), have found that the protein functions as an ...

The enzyme AMPD1 plays a key role in muscle energy production and normal muscular function. Loss of AMPD1 activity due to genetic mutations is the most common cause of metabolic myopathy in Europeans, ...
