Enzymes evolved to efficiently operate in low-temperature environments via key substitutions of amino acids in their active site, which lowers the activation energy of catalytic reactions. Life has ...
Enzymes from cold-loving organisms that live at low temperatures, close to the freezing point of water, display highly distinctive properties. Scientists have now used large-scale computations to ...
This accurate thermosensation relies on the precise maintenance of thermal receptor functions; however, their activation and regulatory mechanisms have remained unclear. In a new study, researchers ...
Researchers from the National Institute for Physiological Sciences/the Exploratory Research Center on Life and Living Systems (ExCELLS)/the Graduate University for Advanced Studies (SOKENDAI) in Japan ...
Researchers have identified a monoacylglycerol acyltransferase-coding gene named bishu-1. It is involved in the thermal responsiveness of cool temperature-sensing neurons by regulating ionotropic ...
