Recent trends in directed enzyme evolution focus on combining high-throughput screening methods with advanced biophysical tools and data-driven computational approaches. However, these methods pose ...

Professor Nicolas Doucet and his team at Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) made a major breakthrough earlier this year in the field of evolutionary conservation of molecular ...

Enzymes catalyze chemical reactions in organisms - without which life would not be possible. Leveraging AlphaFold2 artificial intelligence, researchers at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin have now ...

An enzyme that defends human cells against viruses can help drive cancer evolution towards greater malignancy by causing myriad mutations in cancer cells, according to a new study. The finding ...

An artist’s depiction of an artificially evolved enzyme breaking a silicon-carbon bond. [Caltech/Dow] For the first time, scientists have engineered an enzyme that can break the stubborn man-made ...

Enzymes catalyze chemical reactions in organisms - without which life would not be possible. Leveraging AlphaFold2 artificial intelligence, researchers at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin have now ...

Enzymes originally evolved in high-temperature environments and later adapted to lower temperatures as Earth cooled. Scientists discovered that a key shift in enzyme function occurred over ...

Scientists have developed a novel approach to modifying enzymes to improve functionality. They designed a new algorithm to make multiple changes to an enzyme sequence at once as compared to the ...

A team of scientists has taken a closer look at the origins of cannabis chemistry by reconstructing enzymes from ancient ...

Cannabis has been part of human culture for thousands of years, yet the molecular machinery that gives the plant its ...
