The proteomes of most bacteria contain 1000-2000 enzymes, and each enzyme has an unknown number of promiscuous activities. Consequently, bacteria can access many thousands of catalytic activities when ...
La Jolla, Calif.- Nature is a seemingly endless storehouse of interesting - and potentially life-saving - biological molecules. But tracking down and harvesting those chemicals in their natural form ...
A new pair of brain-imaging studies suggest that researchers may be able to predict how likely young adults are to develop problem drinking or risky sexual behavior in response to stress. The research ...
Open an undergraduate biochemistry textbook and you will learn that enzymes are highly efficient and specific in catalyzing chemical reactions in living organisms, and that they evolved to this state ...
