Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) and sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase (SBPase) were identified and purified from the Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plant, Kalanchoë daigremontiana. FBPase and ...

Switching off a single enzyme in immune cells protected mice from obesity, type 2 diabetes, and fatty liver disease in a new ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The activities of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase, sterol methyl transferase 1 and sterol acyltransferase, key enzymes ...

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" ...

Oxidative stress, caused by an imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant defenses, plays a central role in the development of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). These diseases, ...

In the cells of humans and other organisms, only a subset of genes are active at any given time, depending largely on the stage of life and the particular duties of the cell. Cells use different ...

Scientists have discovered that depression can be driven by abnormal sugar modifications on proteins in the brain, offering a new molecular pathway for understanding the disorder.

Levels of the enzyme HO-1, which protects against toxicity, are elevated in sickle cell disease patients, especially children ...

Scientists discovered that inhibiting the enzyme STK17B forces multiple myeloma cells into iron-driven death and makes ...

Researchers at Duke University have shown that blocking an enzyme involved in iron regulation not only kills multiple myeloma ...
