The complete genome of the tuberculosis bacterium was sequenced and published in 1998. Since then, scientists have deciphered about two-thirds of TB's genes. Or have they?

Researchers at Iowa State University have developed a bioreactor system that uses artificial intelligence to monitor and ...

Scientists at the Universities of Liverpool and Oxford have developed a promising new way to kill antibiotic-resistant strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacterium that causes gonorrhea, using a ...

Revel Pharmaceuticals engineered an enzyme that removes carboxymethyllysine — a sugar-derived chemical modification of the amino acid lysine — from proteins and restores the residue to normal lysine.

In a recent study, scientists devised a way of reversing the buildup of compounds that lead to some age-related diseases. By K. R. Callaway The same chemical process that turns a baking cake golden ...

Heidi Ledford reports for Nature from Seattle, Washington. Scientists have exploited a peculiar CRISPR enzyme so that it fights cancer by shredding the DNA in cancer cells, causing them to ...

A reaction scheme shows N-epsilon-carboxymethyl-lysine in a polypeptide being hydrolyzed to form unmodified lysine (still in a peptide) and glyoxylic acid. N ε-carboxymethyllysine can form after a ...

After an exploration of an enzyme’s evolution, scientists are one step closer to manufacturing the blood thinner heparin using enzymes instead of pigs. The finding could open a long-standing ...
