A new family of enzymes enables precise cuts in single-stranded DNA, offering powerful new tools for genetic engineering and expanding possibilities in biotechnology. (Nanowerk News) A few years ago, ...

An entirely new approach to inhibiting DNA-cleaving enzymes works through the aggregation of an otherwise non-toxic molecule. This discovery may lead to a much-needed method for curbing Streptococcus ...

Smith, a microbiologist whose discovery revolutionize the field of genetic engineering, was a Johns Hopkins School of Medicine alumnus and professor emeritus ...

Sir2, an enzyme belonging to sirtuins, has been shown to be involved in the deacetylation of proteins. Researchers from the ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Genetic engineering has brought us revolutionary advances in medicine, biotechnology, and our understanding of life itself. However, the precise manipulation of DNA sequences has ...

Modern genetic studies show that up to 4% of human DNA comes from Neanderthals—and some of those ancient genes affect how our ...

Profluent Bio's AI-driven protein design and IDT’s enzymology and genomics expertise unite to explore new paths for developing novel enzyme variants.

Ageing is inevitable but the rate of decline can be offset by regular exercise, says Dr Paul Taylor, author of 'The Hardiness Effect' ...

Clumps of Mn007, which is a non-cytotoxic molecule, can inhibit DNA-cleaving enzymes specifically. “We believe that molecular aggregation will provide a rational approach for the discovery and ...
