Living cells are sustained by countless chemical reactions that must be carefully regulated to maintain internal order and ...

From the 1950s to 1970s, discovery of enzymes began by identifying new chemical reactions within cell-free extracts, but ...

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 ...

UPTON, NY -- If your experiment doesn't go the way you expect, take a closer look -- something even more interesting may have happened. That strategy has led scientists at the U.S. Department of ...

The very cells that created us may have a role in saving our lives. Scientists have always been amazed by the energy production system in a sperm’s tail. The system drives flagellar movement and is ...

Living cells are sustained by countless chemical reactions that must be carefully regulated to maintain internal order and function. Enzymes play a ...

Karthik Sankaranarayanan trained in two quite different scientific subfields as a graduate student and as a postdoctoral ...

For much of nutrition science history, trace minerals were discussed almost exclusively in the context of deficiency diseases ...

The lab is located on Saadiyat Island, which is close to the long, pale shoreline where the Gulf air lingers long after ...

Using directed evolution, researchers have developed an enzyme that catalyses the formation of biaryl bonds (Nature 2022, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-021-04365-7). This new enzyme makes carbon-carbon bonds ...
