Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new structure determination method using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy which shows how different parts of complex ...

Reframing enzyme behavior A study led by researchers from Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at Institute of Science Tokyo, explains the biological consequences of enhanced enzyme diffusion or ...

Healthy cells are constantly breaking down proteins and building up new ones with the help of enzymes aptly named unfoldases, because they unravel proteins tagged for destruction or recycling. Now, a ...

Ensemble map of protein structure. The team’s approach integrates different NMR data to create a map of how different parts of a molecular structure move. Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo ...

Enzymes acting as Maxwell's demon In this study, the enzyme plays a comparable role through physical processes rather than intention. "Realizing the analogy to 'Maxwell's demon' was the critical ...

Focusing on an enzyme in yeast, they demonstrated how contrasts in atomic scale motions impact their function. The method promises unprecedented access to the mechanisms by which biomolecules work, ...

Researchers show that enzymes with enhanced enzyme diffusion can function as Maxwell's demon by utilising information from past reactions to actively shift away from equilibrium and control the ...
