A resurrected ancient enzyme is helping scientists test how reliably Earth’s oldest rocks record signs of life.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterial pathogen that is often associated with healthcare settings but can cause serious infections in anyone. These illnesses are difficult ...

Researchers at the University of Waterloo have produced experimental evidence that quantum-level effects can alter the ...

Humans don’t make a carbohydrate called Neu5Gc, but most mammals, including cows, do. So when people eat red meat, the Neu5Gc it contains enters the body and gets incorporated into tissues. As it ...

Peroxiredoxins are among the most abundant enzymes involved in managing oxidative stress. They control the levels of peroxides such as hydrogen peroxide, relay redox signals, and help protect other ...

Frances Arnold's game-changing technique of "directed evolution" creates enzymes with unusual capabilities. Her own evolution made it possible.

Led by Huimin Zhao, a professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at the U. of I., the team reported its findings in the journal Nature Communications. "Enzymes have been increasingly used in ...

Cas9, Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases (TALENs), and Zinc-Finger nucleases (ZFNs) have demonstrated great utility, primarily for genetic knock-out applications, none have been adopted ...
