Linker that joins up Rubisco cuts synthesis of toxic byproduct that plants pay a heavy energy price to deal with ...

Thus, ArcS is an unprecedented tRNA modification enzyme that can act on a nucleoside as the substrate. With the development of mRNA vaccines for COVID-19, modified nucleosides like pseudouridine and 1 ...

Deubiquitinases (DUBs) are enzymes used by cells to trim protein modifications made from the protein ubiquitin, and thereby regulate proteins. Malfunctioning of DUBs could lead to diseases, including ...

Proteins are the workers in a cell and, as the "basic element of life", are responsible for the most widely varying metabolic processes. In plants, for example, they take on an important function in ...

Coronaviruses not only use the machinery of the human cells they infect: they modify them to achieve optimal conditions to ...

This method uses polymer modifications to tune enzyme activity for increased solubility in non-native solvents. Tuning the miscibility of enzymes in non-native solvent environments has important ...

How can we know what life on Earth looked like more than three billion years ago, when rocks from that era are so rare and difficult to exploit? To answer this question, researchers have adopted ...

Sanofi has developed a simpler way to create site-specific antibody-to-mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) conjugates that eliminates the need for enzyme remodeling. This more straightforward method makes M6P ...

As demand intensifies for "green chemistry" standards across the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, Creative Enzymes—a leading global enzyme technology service provider—today announced the ...

Archaeosine is synthesized via three steps in tRNA. ArcS, the second-step enzyme, transfers a lysine to preQ 0, which is introduced into tRNA by ArcTGT, the first-step enzyme. The resultant preQ 0-Lys ...
