The function of carbohydrates is to provide people with energy. There are different types of carbohydrates, including simple, complex, and refined carbohydrates. Carbohydrates can form part of a ...

A research team has unraveled the three-dimensional structure and molecular mechanism of ATP citrate lyase (ACLY). This is a central metabolic enzyme -- a protein that accelerates chemical reactions - ...

Understanding the structure and function of carbohydrates remains a key challenge for chemical biologists. Developments in carbohydrate synthesis and analysis together with the advent of ...

The Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces (MPICI) has created a carbohydrate sequence that can fold into a stable secondary structure. To date, self-folding biopolymers had only been ...

A research team led by dr. Kenneth Verstraete in the Unit for Structural Biology at the VIB-UGent Center for Inflammation Research has unraveled the three-dimensional structure and molecular mechanism ...
