In many pharmaceutical company and university laboratories, scientists are looking closely at kinase complexes because the enzymes play key roles in essential cell functions. By taking unusual steps ...

Enzymes are amazing catalysts. These proteins are made of nothing more than a handful of Earth-abundant elements, and they promote a vast array of reactions, convert chemical energy to physical motion ...

Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived motor neurons (in green) co-cultured with iPSC-derived astrocytes (in red). [VIB] Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s ...

Researchers have captured a bacterial enzyme in the act of encircling collagen and pulling a single strand through its ring-shaped body, a mechanism that rewrites the prevailing understanding of how ...

Researchers have found a way to trap telomerase, the enzyme cancer cells rely on for endless division, in a stalled and non-productive state. The discovery, published in Nature Communications, used ...
