Modern single-molecule tools, when applied to enzymes, challenge fundamental concepts of catalysis by uncovering mechanistic pathways, intermediates and heterogeneities hidden in the ensemble average.
Enzymes are biological catalysts vital to life processes and have attracted century-long investigation. The classic Michaelis-Menten mechanism provides a highly satisfactory description of catalytic ...
An increase in nutrient dose leads to proportional increases in crop biomass and agricultural yield. However, the molecular underpinnings of this nutrient dose–response are largely unknown. To ...
We propose a predator-prey system with Holling type II functional response incorporating both the Allee effect in the growth of the prey population and a nonlinear Michaelis-Menten type harvesting in ...
Cells send signals through enzyme cascades, where one enzyme passes the signal to the next. In such cascades, it is crucial that the enzyme recognizes the right substrates to ensure that, for example, ...
