We have many things in common with one another, but there are also things about each of us that are unique, like our fingerprints, our genome, and our gut microbiome. We carry trillions of microbes in ...

Study in fission yeast revealed a key role for a set of enzymes called agmatinases, which break down the metabolite agmatine into polyamines.

Led by Huimin Zhao, a professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at the U. of I., the team reported its findings in the journal Nature Communications. "Enzymes have been increasingly used in ...

Figure 1: Ub/Ubl modifiers have a comparable fold and are activated and conjugated similarly. While the importance of DUBs is well documented, our understanding of DUB substrate specificity and ...

Acetolactate synthase (ALS) is the first common enzyme in the biosynthetic pathways to valine, isoleucine, and leucine. It is the target of two structurally unrelated classes of herbicides, the ...
