Many enzymes rely on iron porphyrin 'haem' centres to carry out important tasks in biology, in particular using their ability to bind small molecules such as O 2 and water.For example, the ...
The study refutes the long-standing belief that these microbes release enzymes into the environment to corrode iron and have them produce nutrients for the microbe's growth. Instead, the ...
The structure of the trifunctional clavaminic acid synthase exhibits an emerging structural motif found among nonheme iron oxygen activating enzymes that provides the metal active site the ...
About half of the iron in the body is found in red blood cells and in the protein called hemoglobin. Additional iron is found in muscles and enzymes involved in energy production, metabolism, and ...
Scientists have uncovered a critical link between the overconsumption of red meat and an increased risk of colorectal cancer. Their findings pave the way for new therapeutic approaches targeting ...
