[What is Rhodiola Rosea]

Rhodiola Rosea (also known as Arctic root or golden root) is a member of the family Crassulaceae, a family of plants native to the arctic regions of Eastern Siberia. Rhodiola rosea is widely distributed  in Arctic and mountainous regions throughout Europe and Asia. It grows at altitudes of 11,000 to 18,000 feet above sea level.

There are numerous animal and test tube studies showing that rhodiola has both a stimulating and a sedating effect on the central nervous system; enhance physical endurance; improves thyroid, thymus, and adrenal function; protects the nervous system, heart and liver; and has antioxidant and anticancer properties.

“Lysozyme is a small enzyme that binds to polysaccharide chains and breaks them apart by hydrolysis. It has two structural domains. One domain is composed mostly of alpha helices, while the other domain is composed mostly of beta strands. The interface between the two domains forms a cleft in which the substrate binds. The structure shown here contains one of the products of the hydrolysis reaction. Lysozyme acts as a catalyst by adding a molecule of water to the bond between two sugars, breaking the bond. This reaction is catalyzed by two strategically positioned amino acid side chains in the enzymes active site: glutamate 35 and aspartate 52. The highlighted group on the reaction product shown here would have formed the bond cleaved in the reaction.”
