After a long search, RIKEN researchers have identified an enzyme crucial for keeping lipid-linked sugar chains in check in ...

These random molecules were fed a collection of three-base-long RNAs, each linked to a chemical tag. The idea was that if a molecule is capable of ligating one of these short RNA fragments to itself, ...

Some insects sting, some bite, and some spray acid bombs out of their nether regions. It’s a perfectly tactical defense, and highly effective for the bombardier beetle. From a predator’s perspective, ...

Ancient enzymes show life’s nitrogen signal stayed unchanged for billions of years, helping scientists read early Earth.

From vaccines and diagnostics to emerging gene-based therapies, RNA molecules are now central to modern medicine.

A single type of chemical structure that shows up again and again in modern medicine is the amide bond that links a carbonyl ...

The authors’ approach is deceptively simple: take an aldehyde dehydrogenase enzyme, which naturally converts aldehydes to acids, and get it to react with an amine instead of water. But actually making ...

The complex precursors to biological molecules can form spontaneously in interstellar space, according to a lab experiment ...

Enzymes help with specific functions that are vital to the operation and overall health of the human body. They help speed up chemical reactions and are essential for respiration, digestion, muscle ...
