Last week Bacteriologist Albert Paul Krueger of the University of California elaborated a recent announcement of a discovery concerning bacteriophage, the mysterious bacteria-destroying substance ...

Using state-of-the-art robotic and x-ray crystallographic equipment, researchers have revealed for the first time the molecular structure of the zymogen, or inactive, form of a blood-clotting enzyme.

Monitoring glucose levels is one of the key elements in health monitoring. A research team has now developed a battery-independent fluorescent nanosensor based on single-wall carbon nanotubes and an ...

We have investigated the specificity of a chloroplast soluble processing enzyme that cleaves the precursor of the major light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b binding protein (LHCP). The precursor of LHCP ...

A model is proposed for the structure of an inhibited derivative of an enzyme which hydrolyses proteins. It is based on a map of the electron density distribution at 2 Å resolution and interpreted in ...

A team of zoologists, molecular engineers and pest control specialists at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, working with a small team of colleagues from Peking University, has identified some of the ...
