Many bacteria produce natural products, small molecules that are secreted from the cell that allow them to thrive in diverse environments that they face. Many of these compounds have important ...

Researchers use synthetic biology to reverse-engineer modern nitrogenases and rebuild their possible ancestors, in an effort to better understand the origins of life on Earth and beyond.

Putting the brakes on an enzyme might rescue neurons that are dying due to a type of Parkinson's disease that's caused by a single genetic mutation, according to a new Stanford Medicine-led study ...

Recent findings from a preclinical study conducted by Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have uncovered a pivotal role of the enzyme PGK1 in brain cell energy production, offering new hope for ...

New research offers unprecedented insight into how an enigmatic enzyme, known as CDK7, drives the cell cycle and cell proliferation. For organs to develop, grow and regenerate, cells must proliferate.

University of Cincinnati Cancer Center researchers looked billions of years into the past to learn more about the potential future of precision medicine. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci ...

The results of a preclinical study by lymphoma researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine suggest that an emerging class of anticancer drugs called EZH2 inhibitors may greatly enhance the potency of some ...

A single enzyme that can generate all four nucleoside triphosphates, the building blocks of ribonucleic acid (RNA), has been ...

Neurons (blue) rooted in the substantia nigra provide dopamine (dark green dots) to striatal neurons (red). Stressed dopamine-secreting neurons (blue) emit chemical distress signals (upward arrows).
