AMES, Iowa – Peter Reilly pointed to the framed journal covers decorating his office. Each of the six showed the swirling, twisting, complicated structure of an enzyme. Those bright and colorful ...

Using computational design and directed evolution, scientists have successfully created a metalloprotein that can catalyze a commonly used organic reaction more efficiently than any known enzyme (Nat.

Directed evolution—a process in which a protein library is subjected to repeated rounds of mutation and selection to achieve desired properties—can improve the catalytic performance of computationally ...

That’s the big idea behind Zymosense, “The Nanoassay Company,” a startup that’s spinning off technology developed in the lab ...

The enzymes found in living organisms have impressive catalytic power. Thanks to enzymes, the chemical reactions that sustain life happen millions of times faster than they would occur without them.

Researchers at the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, Karolinska Institutet have captured the first detailed molecular ...

Advances in cloud computing and artificial intelligence are driving breakthroughs for researchers in the fields of life sciences, biotech, and drug discovery. Enabled by artificial intelligence and ...

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 ...
