α-Glucosidase is a key enzyme in the final step of carbohydrate digestion, cleaving terminal glucose residues from oligosaccharides at the intestinal brush border. Inhibition of this enzyme delays ...

A new method developed by researchers at KAIST and Chungnam National University could drastically streamline drug interaction testing—replacing dozens of traditional experiments with just one. The ...

Proteases are pivotal enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis of peptide bonds, governing processes as diverse as digestion, blood coagulation, immune response and cell signalling. Inhibiting protease ...

Enzymes are vital to metabolism and drive countless biological processes in humans, plants, and industry. Yet, when overwhelmed by excess substrate, some enzymes slow down — a phenomenon known as ...

Blocking the NAD hydrolase may save axons from neurodegeneration, if researchers can figure out a safe way to do it ...

In a new study published in Science Signaling titled, “Restoration of striatal neuroprotective pathways by kinase inhibitor treatment of Parkinson’s linked-LRRK2 mutant mice,” researchers from ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet and Lund University in Sweden have identified a new treatment strategy for neuroblastoma, an aggressive form of childhood cancer. By combining two antioxidant ...

Researchers at Queen Mary University of London’s School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences, using the simple fission yeast as a model, have shown that a new target of rapamycin (TOR) inhibitor, ...

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. They are essential for life, as they play a crucial role in various biological processes, such as digestion, ...
