Inside cells, two important enzymes act like small central regulatory hubs: dipeptidyl peptidase 8 and 9—DPP8/9 for short.

A research team at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has identified a previously unknown enzyme, SIRT2, that plays a key ...

A few years ago, the advent of technology known as CRISPR was a major breakthrough in the scientific world. Developed from a ...

You may have heard of the fantastic-sounding "dark side of the genome." This poorly studied fraction of DNA, known as ...

But as dermatologists advise, everyone should use a body moisturizer every day to maintain optimal skin health. That’s why, after interviewing four dermatologists, we tested 25 lotions from an ...

The manuscript by Mancl et al. provides valuable mechanistic insights into the conformational dynamics of Insulin Degrading Enzyme (IDE), a zinc metalloprotease involved in the clearance of various ...

But they argue that the idea comes with immense medical benefits. “We know much can be gained from studying the human body.” However, the idea isn’t as far-fetched as it might seem.

The medication works by blocking the enzyme 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD), preventing the build-up of harmful disease byproducts in the human body. When mosquitoes drink blood that ...

The research was published in Science Advances on 26 March. The study suggests that the postnatal period in the body is much longer than people tend to assume, says Jennifer Hall, who researches ...

Each enzyme has an optimal temperature range where its functionality is at its peak. For humans, this is around normal body temperature (37 °C). Deviating from this range causes enzyme activity to ...
