Enzymes are molecular machines that carry out the chemical reactions that sustain all life, an ability that has captured the ...

Next the researchers are working on soybeans and cowpeas; the latter is “a hugely important food-security crop in African ...

Enzymes are also involved in the building up of chemical molecules elsewhere in the body. In an organism, the active site of each enzyme is a different shape. It is a perfect match to the shape of ...

Researchers around the world are working on new technologies to capture carbon from the atmosphere, but many approaches fall short on one key metric: their ability to scale. Nature, however, has ...

Working with the surprisingly viable mutants led the investigators to look closer at two of LPPγ's enzyme "cousins," LPPε1 ...

Rubisco is the enzyme responsible for carbon fixation in plants, algae and many bacteria. A screen of a comprehensive library of rubisco variants (each with a different single-amino-acid mutation ...

However, the evolution of photosynthesis goes back even further ... contains metabolic enzymes and multiple copies of the chloroplast genome. Chloroplasts also have a third internal membrane ...

Second, the warmer temperatures interfered with the enzymes essential for photosynthesis, reducing their ability to fix carbon. Even after eight months of warming, the trees showed little ability ...

which is produced by plants themselves during the process of photosynthesis. Shethna protein II forms a complex with the enzyme nitrogenase. Philipp Franke, Simon Freiberger and Dr. Lin Zhang from ...
