The investigators found that the major THC metabolites inhibited key CYP enzymes, including several that serve key roles in the liver. And all three cannabis chemicals, but especially CBD, inhibited ...

In biology, enzymes have evolved over millions of years to drive chemical reactions. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization (MPI-DS) have now derived universal ...

Assembly instructions for enzymes Universal rules can help to design an optimal enzyme from scratch Date: May 23, 2025 Source: Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization Summary: In ...

Liver enzymes help the liver perform these functions by speeding up chemical reactions. Elevated liver enzymes happen when there are higher-than-normal levels of liver enzymes in your blood.

Creating artificial enzymes typically requires either cofactors or complex structural arrangements that precisely position reactive groups in three-dimensional space. These requirements constrain ...

Normally, cells are able to remove these aggregates themselves. However, if a certain enzyme is blocked, this clean-up process no longer works. The new findings provide a better understanding of ...

Previous research from the Adli laboratory showed an abundance of PRMT5—an enzyme known for its role in regulating gene expression—in chemotherapy-resistant ovarian cancer. In the current ...

Papaya enzyme supplements, a popular natural remedy, are recognized for their role in aiding digestion and providing various other health benefits. Containing an enzyme called papain, papaya ...

Kiwi contains actinidin, a proteolytic enzyme that helps break down proteins in the digestive tract, facilitating efficient digestion and potentially reducing transit time. This enzyme activity ...
