The enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) prevents the inactivation of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Since GLP-1-based therapy is a promising novel treatment of type 2 diabetes, the strategy to ...

I was a young enzymologist looking for a new project, and immediately volunteered for this one, which involved a peptidase of apparently unique mechanism and an enzyme product of potentially great ...

Digging deeper into the ingredient list, we find alpha-amylase, bromelain, and peptidase enzymes. Each plays a vital role in targeting different food groups, ensuring comprehensive digestive ...

The crystal structures and functional analysis of these enzymes will aid in the development of novel compounds that will lead to new therapies. For papers on viral proteases studied in our lab, such ...

Two enzymes, a peptidase and a cyclase, then collaborate to convert a linear precursor peptide into the distinctive knotted ...

The supplement includes polysaccharide-specific enzymes, a protein and peptide-specific protease/peptidase complex, lysozyme (from egg white), enteric-coated Serratia peptidase, and EDTA (as ...

A new treatment that could prevent blindness in children with the CLN2 type Batten disease has been trialed by clinicians and ...

This causes the formation of more enzyme-substrate complexes, leading to an increase in enzyme activity. This means the active site loses its important shape and can no longer form enzyme ...

Dietary protein absorption in neonatal mammals and fishes relies on the function of a specialized and conserved population of highly absorptive lysosome rich enterocytes (LREs). The gut microbiome has ...

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 ...
