While most enzymatic activity is conducted through chemical binding interactions between molecules, in some cases, the mere presence of an enzyme can affect intracellular functions. While exploring ...

Traditional synthesis is a brute-force process, requiring high-activation-state precursors from acids and wasteful coupling reagents to force the reaction. Now, Prof. Lei Xiaoguang's research group at ...

Man prides himself upon his growing mastery over nature, but in the ultimate biochemical analysis nature remains the master of man. With their most sophisticated laboratory glassware and corrosive ...

NUDT5 enzyme acts as a molecular scaffold that maintains metabolic balance. Inside every cell, a finely tuned metabolic network determines when to build, recycle or stop producing essential molecules.

What the research is about Inside our cells, DNA-the blueprint of life-and RNA, which supports cellular functions based ...

From vaccines and diagnostics to emerging gene-based therapies, RNA molecules are now central to modern medicine. But as their use continues to grow, so does a fundamental challenge: producing RNA ...

RNA drugs are the next frontier of medicine, but manufacturing them requires an expensive and labor-intensive process that limits production and produces metric tons of toxic chemical waste.

Nicotine, a potent insecticidal alkaloid unique to the nightshade family, has been employed in agriculture as a pesticide ...

Macrolides are an important class of antibiotics that includes drugs such as azithromycin and erythromycin, which are widely used to treat a range of infections, including pneumonia and skin ...
