Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new structure determination method using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy which shows how different parts of complex ...

Polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyl transferases (GalNAc-Ts) initiate mucin type O-glycosylation by catalyzing the transfer of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) to Ser or Thr on a protein substrate.

Iridoids are a widespread and evolutionarily ancient class of plant secondary metabolites belonging to the terpenes. They ...

Researchers from the University of Tsukuba have obtained atomic-level insights into the structure of the phosphoketolase enzyme, which will help researchers optimize this enzyme for chemical feedstock ...

Researchers say findings help to bridge the structure of the genome to its function in managing how genes are turned on and off.

A new study led by Rice University's Pernilla Wittung-Stafshede has revealed that protein clumps, or plaques that clog the brain, associated with Parkinson's disease are not merely waste; they can ...

A change in the DNA sequence of a codon may not change the corresponding amino acid residue in the encoded protein because each residue can be encoded by several codons. This is called the Wobble ...
