A research team led by Purdue University's W. Andy Tao has discovered a new type of protein modification related to cellular ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A Nature study identifies a previously unknown protein modification, O-2-hydroxyglutarylation, driven by the oncometabolite ...

A metabolic enzyme found in the support cells surrounding tumors may hold the key to predicting which cancer patients will ...

Today's nearly $70 billion U.S. biofuels economy is powered by two technology toolboxes. Biochemical technologies—used to produce around 17 billion gallons of ethanol annually—leverage microorganisms ...

This Brush Up is sponsored by Cayman Chemical. Learn more about chemical inhibitors of histone modification. Histone modification affects how tightly DNA wraps around histone proteins, yielding ...
