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, ...

A resurrected ancient enzyme is helping scientists test how reliably Earth’s oldest rocks record signs of life.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — By combining artificial intelligence with automated robotics and synthetic biology, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have dramatically improved performance ...

Living cells are sustained by countless chemical reactions that must be carefully regulated to maintain internal order and ...

Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) is a ubiquitous, evolutionarily conserved polymer composed of linear chains of inorganic phosphate residues. Long recognised as an energy metabolite and phosphate ...

Researchers have found evidence of nuclear metabolic enzymes for the first time, contributing to our understanding of cancer ...

Researchers have found hundreds of metabolic enzymes attached to human DNA inside the cell nucleus. Different tissues and cancers show unique patterns of these enzymes, forming a “nuclear metabolic ...

Usually enzyme complexes make multistep processes easier by catalyzing sequential reactions in which the product of one enzyme becomes the substrate for the next. In a new finding, researchers report ...

More than 200 metabolic enzymes, many of which are normally tasked with producing energy in the mitochondria, are also found ...

Our bodies perform many critical metabolic reactions, using a wide range of enzymes and other molecules. When there is a ...
