The regulation of CRISPR‒Cas activity is critical for developing advanced biotechnologies. Optical control of CRISPR‒Cas system activity can be achieved by modulation of Cas proteins or guide RNA ...

The artificial engineering of an enzyme’s structural conformation and dynamic properties to promote its catalytic activity and stability outside cellular environments is highly pursued in industrial ...

Chemists have long dreamed of mimicking nature’s precision, and now, thanks to a repurposed enzyme, they’ve taken a leap closer. Researchers at the University of Basel have successfully combined a ...

Enzymes are amazing catalysts. These proteins are made of nothing more than a handful of Earth-abundant elements, and they promote a vast array of reactions, convert chemical energy to physical motion ...

A chance discovery at Nagoya University in Japan has shown that a well-known brain enzyme has a hidden ability: It builds a ...
