A seemingly subtle swap of metals—substituting a zinc ion with a cobalt ion—and a mutation ramps up the overall electric field strength at the active site of an enzyme, Stanford scientists find. The ...

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 ...

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 ...

Post-translational modification (PTM) is the covalent and generally enzymatic modification of proteins following protein biosynthesis. Proteins are synthesized by ribosomes that translate mRNA into ...

Today, Dr. Carolin Richter’s manuscript on the biotechnological optimisation of bioactive chitosans for sustainable agriculture was finally accepted in the highly reputed journal Carbohydrate Polymers ...

Angelika Oste Triantafyllou got US patent 6190708 for Swedish company Cereal Base CEBA AB, for her ‘Enzyme preparations for modifying cereal suspensions.’ The invention claims enzymatic enhancement of ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in ...
