Scientists discovered hundreds of energy-making enzymes secretly working on human DNA—revealing a hidden “mini-metabolism” ...

Living cells are sustained by countless chemical reactions that must be carefully regulated to maintain internal order and ...

More than two hundred metabolic enzymes, many of which are normally tasked with producing energy in the mitochondria, are also found sitting directly on top of human DNA, according to a study ...

New images of an enzyme in action as it interacts with the chromosome could provide important insight into how cells—including cancer cells—regulate their genes. The enzyme, LSD1, can “turn off” gene ...

A new study finds enhanced activity of a specific enzyme drives spinocerebellar ataxia type 14, which suggests inhibiting the enzyme may have therapeutic potential. pinocerebellar ataxias are a group ...

Medicinal plants produce a wide range of bioactive compounds, yet the genetic and evolutionary mechanisms underlying their ...

Here's what enzymes are, what they do and how you'll know if you are ever low on them.

Liver diseases are commonly diagnosed using serum enzyme assays, particularly for aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma-glutamyl ...
