Researchers synthesize enzymes to learn more about a signaling protein involved in the development of muscle, bone and blood in vertebrate embryos. A team of bioengineers at the University of Texas at ...

Every time a eukaryotic cell divides, it faces a monumental challenge: It must carefully duplicate and divide its genetic ...

Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) is a ubiquitous, evolutionarily conserved polymer composed of linear chains of inorganic phosphate residues. Long recognised as an energy metabolite and phosphate ...

Usually enzyme complexes make multistep processes easier by catalyzing sequential reactions in which the product of one enzyme becomes the substrate for the next. In a new finding, researchers report ...

A new study led by Stephen Withers from the University of British Columbia introduces a technique for engineering much more ...

A new artificial intelligence tool can predict the functions of enzymes based on their amino acid sequences, even when the enzymes are unstudied or poorly understood. The researchers said the AI tool, ...

Our immune systems weaken as we get older, making fewer cells that fight infection and help us recover from illness and injury. Scientists aren't completely sure why. They may have a better idea now, ...

GeneDx, Twist Bioscience and Wave Life Sciences are emerging as key players in the fast-growing genomics and synthetic ...

Enzyme engineering is a significant tool for fine-tuning enzymes to alter their stability, activity, and specificity. Enzymes are highly versatile macromolecular biological catalysts that can ...

In this interview, Technology Networks spoke with Gene Mack, chief executive officer and president of Gain Therapeutics, to ...

Another protein central to this process is NuMA, which is essential for spindle pole organisation. Normally, NuMA gathers at ...
