Researchers have made a significant advance toward the goal of using bacteria—rather than fossil fuels—to produce ethylene, a ...

That problem is why, even though we’ve had success finding enzymes that break down common plastics like polyesters and PET, they’re only partial solutions to plastic waste. However, researchers aren’t ...

A structural model of the telomerase enzyme shows how the binding domain (purple) tethers one end of the RNA component of the enzyme. (Image credit: Jansson et al., ) Researchers at UC Santa Cruz have ...

Life just got more difficult for those fighting antibiotic-resistant superbugs. Researchers at McGill University have ...

Stony Brook University researchers are now able to address many long-standing questions about the formation of triglyceride molecules since they were able to visualize the structure of the lipin ...

Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have determined the three-dimensional structure of an RNA enzyme, or “ribozyme,” that carries out a fundamental reaction required to make new ...

Researchers used cryo-EM to study how the HIV enzyme integrase arranges in 3D to slip its DNA into the host genome and pack ...

The first structure of a lipin enzyme, which carries out an important step in the production of triglycerides, the main reservoir for long-term energy storage, will help scientists to better ...

(PHILADELPHIA) – Inappropriate activation of a single enzyme, telomerase, is associated with the uncontrollable proliferation of cells seen in as many as 90 percent of all of human cancers. Since the ...

Gene editing is one of the latest breakthroughs in biology. The widely known CRISPR-Cas gene editing system provided prokaryotes (organisms that lack cell nuclei) an immunity against foreign DNA.
