Enzymes are proteins that facilitate biochemical reactions by acting as a catalyst, and thus, their expression and activity have a strong influence on the reactions taking place within cells. As ...

Nobel laureate David Baker’s latest foundation model can design proteins that interact to any biomolecule for broad biotech applications.

(Nanowerk News) When used as biocatalysts, enzymes accelerate many chemical reactions. At Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), researchers have now embedded enzymes in metal-organic frameworks ...

(Nanowerk News) Biomacromolecules incorporated into tailored metal–organic frameworks using peptide modulators are well shielded but highly active thanks to carefully tuned nanoarchitecture. As ...

Takeaki Ozawa and his team from the University of Tokyo reveal the metabolic reactions upon activating an enzyme called Akt2. In doing so, they reveal the inner workings of insulin-regulated ...

Scientists have developed a method with which an enzyme at work can be 'photographed'. Their method makes it possible to better understand the function of important biomolecules. The researchers also ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have developed a new structure determination method using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy which shows how different parts of complex ...

Takeaki Ozawa and his team from the University of Tokyo reveal the metabolic reactions upon activating an enzyme called Akt2. In doing so, they reveal the inner workings of insulin-regulated ...

Aqueous biphasic systems (ABS) offer a versatile and sustainable platform for the extraction, separation and purification of biomolecules. These systems, typically composed of water-soluble polymers ...

Through the use of self-stopping enzymes, DNA synthesis has become faster, cheaper and better. Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Joint BioEnergy Institute (JBEI) based at the University of ...

DNA is the molecular basis of heredity, the inherited traits that pass between generations in a person's family tree. Embodied in the sequence of base pairs, DNA carries information between ...
