A new study in Nature has mapped, at atomic resolution, how the enzyme DICER slices precursor microRNAs at exactly the right ...

Microtubules, the dynamic filaments that form the cell's internal scaffolding, have long been viewed as mere passive ...

Researchers at the University of Basel have repurposed a natural enzyme so that it catalyzes a highly challenging chemical reaction. Their approach opens new possibilities for synthesizing complex ...

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. They are essential for life, as they play a crucial role in various biological processes, such as digestion, ...

In biology, enzymes have evolved over millions of years to drive chemical reactions. Scientists have now derived universal rules to enable the de novo design of optimal enzymes. As an example, they ...
