Scientists are urgently seeking fluid biomarkers for frontotemporal dementia, the most common dementing illness among 40- and ...

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA.

pH is a measure of how acidic or alkaline a solution is. The diagram below shows what happens to an enzyme when denaturation occurs. Each enzyme has an optimum pH but it also has a working range ...

Rubisco is the enzyme responsible for carbon fixation in plants, algae and many bacteria. A screen of a comprehensive library of rubisco variants (each with a different single-amino-acid mutation ...

A common method for creating genome-edited crops involves introducing foreign DNA temporarily that produces an enzyme to cut the target DNA. However, when the crops are grown outdoors, it is ...

Structural biologists provide a first-time look at the atomic level into the quality control mechanism of this complex molecular machine A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that ...

Dr Zhenling Cui. Publishing their findings in Angewandte Chemie International, the team describe engineering a hybrid protein, or "chimera," by combining a lanthanide-binding protein, LanM, with an ...
