A crucial enzyme in the mammalian brain seems to randomly switch on and off, according to new research reported in Nature. The V-ATPase enzyme normally generates energy to load neurotransmitters into ...

Researchers at Purdue University and The Catholic University of America have discovered the structure of an enzyme essential for the operation of "molecular motors" that package DNA into the head ...

In a new breakthrough to understand more about the mammalian brain, University of Copenhagen researchers have made an incredible discovery. Namely, a vital enzyme that enables brain signals is ...

V-161, a novel compound targeting the Na+ -V-ATPase enzyme in vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE), significantly reduces bacterial growth and colonization. A recent study has demonstrated ...

Molecular machines known as ATPases are one of the cell’s most important workhorses. Through stepwise contortions, each move fueled by the combustion of an ATP molecule, these enzymatic motors drive ...

Uncoating ATPase, an abundant 70,000-mol-wt polypeptide mediating the ATP-dependent dissociation of clathrin from coated vesicles and empty clathrin cages, has been purified to virtual homogeneity ...

The properties of the plasma membrane H+-ATPase and the cause of its latency have been studied using a highly purified plasma membrane fraction from oat (Avena sativa L., cv Victory) roots, prepared ...

A team of scientists now have a deeper understanding of a large switch/sucrose non-fermentable (SWI/SNF) protein complex that plays a pivotal role in plant and human gene expression that causes ...

In a breakthrough to understand more about the mammalian brain, researchers have discovered that a vital enzyme that enables brain signals is switching on/off at random, even taking hours-long 'breaks ...
