Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have developed a highly efficient cell-free enzyme system that converts ...

Enzymes are the molecule factories in biological cells. However, which basic molecular building blocks they use to assemble target molecules is often unknown and difficult to measure. An international ...

Halogenated compounds are widespread in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. But the reagents used to make them can produce hazardous waste and mixtures of compounds. Enzymes can provide a ...

Although putting together the words "random" and "biased" can seem like a clash, these are the attributes that describe how bacteria navigate and fetch their food. They follow a random path, but ...

Researchers from Tomsk Polytechnic University, together with their colleagues from Czech universities, have proposed a new ...

It is well known in physics and chemistry that equal charges repel each other, while opposite charges attract. It was long assumed that this principle also applies when enzymes -- the biological ...

A bacterial enzyme could make it possible to produce the plastic building block ethylene without the emission of CO₂.

Epigenetic drug discovery and development programs have attracted much attention and investment in recent years. This is driven by the potential to develop novel therapeutic strategies that can ...

A glass plate, a delicate tube and an oil bath are all that is required: thanks to a new method, researchers at ETH Zurich can produce tens of thousands of tiny droplets within minutes. This enables ...
