From vaccines and diagnostics to emerging gene-based therapies, RNA molecules are now central to modern medicine. But as ...

Researchers developed C28, an engineered polymerase that efficiently synthesizes RNA at near-natural speeds with high accuracy. Created through directed evolution, the enzyme also performs reverse ...

Chemists have long dreamed of mimicking nature’s precision, and now, thanks to a repurposed enzyme, they’ve taken a leap closer. Researchers at the University of Basel have successfully combined a ...

A team of biochemists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, has developed a faster way to identify molecules in the ...

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 ...

From vaccines and diagnostics to emerging gene-based therapies, RNA molecules are now central to modern medicine.

The immune system must maintain a delicate balance to defend against harmful threats while avoiding excessive inflammation.

Ancient enzymes show life’s nitrogen signal stayed unchanged for billions of years, helping scientists read early Earth.

For the first time, researchers have succeeded in predicting how to change the optimum temperature of an enzyme using large computer calculations. A cold-adapted enzyme from an Antarctic bacterium was ...
