Its complex three - dimensional structure allows it to act simultaneously on two parts
of a key enzyme in the tuberculosis bacillus, and in doing so, dramatically reduce the risk that the bacteria will develop multiple resistances.
Since the early 1990s, several research teams have found that Alzheimer's patients have lower
levels of key enzymes produced in mitochondria, tiny power plants within cells that harbor their own genetic instructions apart from nuclear DNA.
Iron is an integral component of hemoglobin, which transports oxygen from the lungs to all body cells, and is also
part of key enzyme systems for energy production and metabolism.
Investigators who recently performed detailed analyses of the
targets of a key enzyme of the Zika virus have uncovered peculiarities of the viral enzyme, called the NS3 protease.
«This is the first demonstration that a constitutive monoubiquitination by an E2 enzyme complements the
function of a key enzyme.
Techniques were used to measure the
activities of the key enzymes within mitochondria that are involved in producing the skin cell's energy, a type of mitochondrial gym or skin physical.
The study shows that in glioblastoma (GBM), the essential amino acids methionine and tryptophan are abnormally metabolized due to the
loss of key enzymes in GBM cells.
Researchers at the Universities of York and Leiden have pioneered a technique which uses florescent imaging to track the
actions of key enzymes in cancer, genetic disorders and kidney disease.
They make melanin, the pigment that protects against the Sun's rays, with the
aid of a key enzyme, tyrosinase.
Related research (Pereira HJ, et al., 2012) used two different lines of evidence to explain the increase in the ratio of anteiso — to iso - branched alkenes that was observed during the transition from early to late stationary phase in M. luteus: structural
studies of a key enzyme involved in fatty acid biosynthesis in M. luteus (FabH, or ß - ketoacyl - ACP synthase III) and transcriptional (whole - genome microarray) studies of M. luteus during different growth phases.
9/20/2007 UCSD Study Reveals the Regulatory
Mechanism of Key Enzyme Protein kinase A (PKA) involved in cardiac disease and breast cancer Research conducted at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine has shed new light on the structure and function of one of the key proteins in all mammalia... More...
The shRNA knocked down the
level of a key enzyme, making the cells more resistant to a toxic drug called CEHPOBA.
The Surolias went on to show that, like in bacteria, triclosan is the wrench that jams Plasmodium's fatty acid machinery; it inhibits one
of the key enzymes in the biochemical conveyor belt.
The «vegetarian» version of Rejuvenzyme does not have
some of the key enzymes needed by cancer patients.
