Leiden researchers have discovered an enzyme that helps bacteria feed on everyday plastics. This common enzyme could play a crucial role in future research and eventually in addressing the global plastic crisis. The study is […]
In the last year, there has been a surge in proteins developed by AI that will eventually be used in the treatment of everything from snakebites to cancer. What would normally take decades for a […]
Inside our cells, ribosomes—the tireless “protein factories” of life—have just shown off a new skill they haven’t used in billions of years. A research team has become the first in the world to successfully expand […]
A Ph.D. student in biomolecular engineering at the University of California, Santa Cruz, has built a software program designed to facilitate the kind of precision genome editing involved in the development of cutting-edge therapeutics for […]
Golf course managers have much more insight into which fungicides to use to suppress turfgrass diseases, such as the common and costly dollar spot disease, without damaging the grass on their fairways, thanks to a […]
At more than 470 times the atmospheric concentration of CO₂, a humble soil bacterium does something extraordinary: it turns gas into stone.This post was originally published on this site
A team of researchers has developed a method that could transform the field of protein engineering. The new approach, called AI-informed Constraints for protein Engineering (AiCE), enables rapid and efficient protein evolution by integrating structural […]
During photosynthesis, an enzyme called rubisco catalyzes a key reaction—the incorporation of carbon dioxide into organic compounds to create sugars. However, rubisco, which is believed to be the most abundant enzyme on Earth, is very […]
In just the last several months, de-extinction—bringing back extinct species by recreating them or organisms that resemble them—has moved closer from science fiction to science fact. Colossal Biosciences—an American for-profit de-extinction startup headed by geneticists […]
Rie Natsume and her collaborators have recently developed an innovative and cost-effective method for generating rats that inherit traits from embryonic stem (ES) cells. Unlike mouse ES cells, rat ES cells have unsuccessfully been established […]
