The enzyme can play a critical role in fending ... "This new finding showcases the importance of neuron-intrinsic glycolysis in supporting axonal transport, essential for the establishment and ...

This research uncovers HKDC1’s crucial role in regulating cancer metabolism, particularly in glycolysis and fatty acid ...

To achieve this goal, cells organize reactions into various enzyme-powered pathways.

The findings are significant for the liver research community and others interested in the gut-liver axis. (A) AOAH cleaves the two piggyback fatty acyl chains from the lipid A moiety, inactivating ...

This enzyme is secreted and hydrolyzes triglycerides to glycerol and three long chain fatty acids. These compounds are small enough to pass through the bacterial cell wall. Glycerol can be converted ...

It tests an organism's ability to ferment the sugar glucose as well as its ability to convert the end product of glycolysis, pyruvic acid into gaseous byproducts ... SIM is commonly used to ...

How does your body speed up these important reactions? The answer is enzymes. Enzymes in our bodies are catalysts that speed up reactions by helping to lower the activation energy needed to start a ...

This causes the formation of more enzyme-substrate complexes, leading to an increase in enzyme activity. This means the active site loses its important shape and can no longer form enzyme ...

Enzymes are also involved in the building up of chemical molecules elsewhere in the body. In an organism, the active site of each enzyme is a different shape. It is a perfect match to the shape of ...

Zhijian “James” Chen, a biochemist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, was awarded the 2024 Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award for the discovery of the cGAS enzyme that ...
