Gene editing is one of the latest breakthroughs in biology. The widely known CRISPR-Cas gene editing system provided prokaryotes (organisms that lack cell nuclei) an immunity against foreign DNA.

Researchers used cryo-EM to study how the HIV enzyme integrase arranges in 3D to slip its DNA into the host genome and pack its genetic material into new viral particles.

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 ...

Enzymes are amazing catalysts. These proteins are made of nothing more than a handful of Earth-abundant elements, and they promote a vast array of reactions, convert chemical energy to physical motion ...

That problem is why, even though we’ve had success finding enzymes that break down common plastics like polyesters and PET, they’re only partial solutions to plastic waste. However, researchers aren’t ...
