Carbohydrate metabolism influences the outcome of host-parasite relationships. This study shows that insect short neuropeptide F (sNPF) induces trehalose accumulation during the interaction between ...

Abstract: Enzymes play a critical role in catalyzing biochemical reactions, and accurately predicting their substrate specificity is essential for applications in drug discovery, metabolic engineering ...

A new artificial intelligence-powered tool can help researchers determine how well an enzyme fits with a desired target, helping them find the best enzyme and substrate combination for applications ...

V max can be determined experimentally by plotting the initial velocity (v) of the reaction against the substrate concentration ([S]) and finding the asymptotic value on the y-axis. Alternatively, ...

Interposers and substrates are undergoing a profound transformation from intermediaries to engineered platforms responsible for power distribution, thermal management, high-density interconnects, and ...

Article subjects are automatically applied from the ACS Subject Taxonomy and describe the scientific concepts and themes of the article. In this study, we unveil a common mechanism underlying these ...

The Arctic air over the Great Lakes last week did cause a surge in ice concentration for most of the Great Lakes. Here’s a look at how the percentage of ice cover today compares to historical normals.

As you may know, there are four main types of enzyme inhibition: noncompetitive, uncompetitive, competitive, and mixed inhibition mechanisms. The similarity in their names makes it difficult and ...

Researchers want to transform the natural and abundant resource wood into useful materials, and central to that is a molecular machine found in fungi that decomposes the complex raw material into its ...

Biochemical engineers want to transform the abundant and renewable wood into bioplastics, medically relevant chemicals, food additives, or fuel. However, the wood’s complex structure has been a major ...
