How do enzymes cause tremendous increases in reaction rates? Learn how a group of enzymes called the serine proteases work.

When tested in human cells, Protease 5 nearly eliminated all α-Synuclein proteins, suggesting it could help prevent the harmful buildup seen in Parkinson's disease. And because the enzyme was ...

Scientists have long struggled to target proteins that lack defined structure and are involved in cancer, neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's disease, and other serious illnesses.

Researchers have used spatial Deep Visual Proteomics workflow to reveal why some patients with the hereditary disease remain ...

and therefore the enzyme has a unique shape. This structure is held together by weak forces between the amino acid molecules in the chain. High temperatures will break these forces. The enzyme ...
