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 ...

A principle of DNA synthesis that has dominated biology textbooks for decades could be upended. An enzyme has been discovered ...

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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...

Ansa Biotechnologies’ CEO Daniel Lin-Arlow’s passion is helping scientists do their job faster and deliver their innovation to the world. His latest solution? Enzymatic DNA synthesis. DNA writing is ...

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 ...
