Enzymes are large biological molecules—usually proteins—that speed up chemical reactions. Molecules that speed up chemical ...
This article was originally published with the title “ The Three-Dimensional Structure of an Enzyme Molecule ” in Scientific American Magazine Vol. 215 No. 5 (November 1966), p. 78 doi:10.1038 ...
Thus, understanding the interplay between structure, dynamics and function of enzymes in solution is an important goal in modern biochemistry. Generations of students have been introduced to this ...
Though most annotations are based primarily on sequence information, when the three-dimensional structure is available it provides valuable clues about the enzyme's function. Current methods to ...
The diagram below shows how an enzyme catalyses the breakdown of one substrate into two products.
