Walk into almost any modern laboratory and you’ll probably picture rows of advanced machines humming away, building the clean ...

Enzymes can not only learn from synthetic chemistry but can also enable new chemistry that has never been realized before. So say researchers at the California Institute of Technology who have ...

Life just got more difficult for those fighting antibiotic-resistant superbugs. Researchers at McGill University have discovered two enzymes that use a never-before-seen mechanism to confer resistance ...

A new study by Professor Ludmilla Aristilde and her team shows how soil microbes steer carbon flow to adapt and create ...

The European Food and Safety Authority (EFSA) have revealed a new approach to assessing consumer exposure to food enzymes, tightening up their safety profile in line with current EU law. Details of ...

Researchers from North Carolina State University and the University of Texas at Austin defined the structure of a substrate-bound iron 2-oxoglutarate (Fe/2OG) enzyme to explore whether these enzymes ...

Scientists from the University of Chicago have developed a novel approach to control the activity of enzymes through the use of synthetic, antibody-like proteins known as monobodies. A team led by ...

Anchorage-dependent cells are cells that require physical attachment to a solid surface, such as a culture dish, to survive, ...

Enzyme structure and function are routinely studied by altering the DNA that encodes the enzyme, thus replacing specific amino-acid residues in the enzyme with other residues. Unfortunately, the ...

In the cells of humans and other organisms, only a subset of genes are active at any given time, depending largely on the stage of life and the particular duties of the cell. Cells use different ...
