A team from the University of Illinois has developed a modeling framework connecting enzyme activity related to photosynthesis to yield. This is the first time a model has tied the dynamic ...

Structural models of PLD3 and PLD4, enzymes that degrade nucleic acids in the cytoplasm. The enzymes' active (or binding) sites are indicated with black arrows. LA JOLLA, CA—When nucleic acids like ...

An enzyme-based treatment developed by Yale researchers mitigated autoimmunity and reduced death rates in both genetic and non-genetic mouse lupus models, a new study reveals. The findings, which were ...

Obesity is a global epidemic and a major cause of morbidity and mortality because it increases the risk for comorbidities, ...

Drug molecules and biofuels can be made to order by living cell factories, where biological enzymes do the job. Now researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have developed a computer model ...

Molecular biology has transitioned to a new era where precise genetic manipulation plays a critical role in research, medicine, and biotechnology. Among the vital tools in this field are cloning ...

Prozomix, a UK-based biotech company focused on novel biocatalyst discovery and manufacturing, and Ginkgo Bioworks, which is building the leading platform for cell programming and biosecurity, today ...

Mathematical modeling helps researchers to understand how enzymes in the body work to ensure normal functioning. The models also can show how genetic mutations alter the enzymes' behavior in ways that ...
