As time goes by, our bodies change, you know, even the brain. A major change is how brain structure seems to shrink with age. Studies show that this happens at both large and small levels inside. You ...

IVD is a key enzyme in leucine catabolism, catalyzing the conversion of isovaleryl-CoA to 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA.

A groundbreaking study reveals that genetically modified mice, lacking the amino acid cysteine, lost significant body weight ...

For efficient functioning, many enzymes require some molecules as cofactors. These helper molecules are called coenzymes. Coenzymes are naturally occurring organic molecules that bind to and ...

Work of several labs, among them Institute for Enzyme Research, suggests very strongly that metals are associated with riboflavin coenzymes in certain instances of flavo-protein catalysis. Two enzymes ...

Cofactors enrich the functional scope of about half of extant enzymes but whether they could also bind to peptides lacking the evolutionary late amino acids remains speculative. The aim of this study ...

NUMEROUS attempts have been made in the past, with little success, to separate the glucose-splitting enzyme system from brain cells 1,2,3. The most active extract obtained hitherto had less than 1 ...

They are usually small organic molecules that act as carriers of electrons or other groups between different enzymes. For example, NADH is a co-substrate that transfers electrons in ...

Some enzymes cannot function unless they attach to a specific non-protein molecule, known as cofactors. There are two types of cofactors, ions and coenzymes. Ions are inorganic molecules that ...

Many of these cofactors will attach near the substrate binding site to facilitate the binding of the substrate to the enzyme. Cofactors can be classed as “prosthetic groups” or “coenzymes ...
