New research shows how engineered enzymes and cell-free systems can be combined to recycle CO2 into Acetyl-CoA and other ...

Cells have a remarkable housekeeping system: proteins that are no longer needed, defective, or potentially harmful are ...

Proteins that are no longer needed, defective, or potentially harmful are labeled with a molecular "tag" and dismantled in the cellular recycling machinery. This process, known as the ...

In a breakthrough that defies nature, Northwestern University and Stanford University synthetic biologists have created a new artificial metabolism that transforms waste carbon dioxide (CO2) into ...

Papua New Guinea will 'immediately' lift a ban on forest carbon credit schemes, the Pacific nation's climate minister said, opening up its vast wilderness to offset ...

Natural biological systems cannot efficiently convert waste CO₂ or its derivatives into useful building-block chemicals at a scale that can keep pace with rising atmospheric carbon. Engineer a fully ...

In a breakthrough that defies nature, Northwestern University and Stanford University synthetic biologists have created a new artificial metabolism that transforms waste carbon dioxide (CO2) into ...

Article subjects are automatically applied from the ACS Subject Taxonomy and describe the scientific concepts and themes of the article. Riboflavin biosynthesis is limited to plants, fungi, and ...

In The Matrix, human beings are a literal (and metaphorical) power source – specifically, they supply bio-electricity to our AI overlords. Fortunately, enslavement to robotic masters in a ...

So, what type of molecule is an enzyme? While the vast majority of enzymes are proteins, a small but important group, known as ribozymes, is made of RNA. Proteins are large molecules built from long ...

Zinc is an essential trace element that supports immunity, growth, and cellular repair. Adequate intake from food or supplementation helps prevent deficiency and promotes overall health. Zinc plays a ...

A peptide bridge is designed to construct a fusion enzyme with electrostatic cofactor channeling, reducing NADPH input by two orders of magnitude or decreasing reaction time threefold with the same ...
