The new RFD4-Proteina unified generative model for protein design—created by the Institute for Protein Design (IPD) in ...

Researchers have made a major breakthrough earlier this year in the field of evolutionary conservation of molecular dynamics in enzymes. Their work points to potential applications in health, ...

Researchers have made a significant advance toward the goal of using bacteria—rather than fossil fuels—to produce ethylene, a key chemical in the production of many plastics. In a new study, ...

How do related proteins develop different functions? This is the question investigated by a research team involving Kiel University, DESY and the Center for Structural Systems Biology (CSSB). Led by ...

Cancer cells have an insatiable appetite for energy as they multiply more rapidly than normal cells. Greedy cancer cells hijack various cellular functions to find and exploit energy and other ...

SANTA CRUZ, CA — Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have determined the three-dimensional structure of an RNA enzyme, or “ribozyme,” that carries out a fundamental reaction ...

While most enzymatic activity is conducted through chemical binding interactions between molecules, in some cases, the mere presence of an enzyme can affect intracellular functions. While exploring ...

Helicases are ATP-dependent nucleic acid motor proteins, classified into six superfamilies (SF1 to SF6) on sequence and structural grounds. SF1 and SF2 are generally non-hexameric and include the ...

A research team at the University of Konstanz has discovered a new bacterial enzyme ...

Manchester scientists test AI-designed enzymes for key step in lenacapavir synthesis, showing how protein design could ...
