Each enzyme molecule has a special place called the active site where another molecule, called the substrate, fits. The substrate goes through a chemical reaction and changes into a new molecule ...

The enzyme (blue) binds to its substrate (red) to form an enzyme-substrate complex. The enzyme then catalyzes the conversion of the substrate into products (pink), which are released. The enzyme ...

Motivated by this, the fledgling bioengineer and his team created a new material that retains the key structural features of the enzyme's natural substrate while still being simple enough to allow ...

Thus, these enzymes likely coordinate with one another to receive the damaged DNA substrate and efficiently pass the resulting DNA product along to the next enzyme, just as a baton is passed from ...

The DUB enzyme family contains around 100 proteins that remove ubiquitin from a variety of substrates. Widely involved in the regulation of cellular processes including cell proliferation, autophagy, ...
