Researchers have uncovered the enzyme behind chromothripsis, a chaotic chromosome-shattering event seen in about one in four cancers. The enzyme, N4BP2, breaks apart DNA trapped in tiny cellular ...

From vaccines and diagnostics to emerging gene-based therapies, RNA molecules are now central to modern medicine. But as ...

For much of nutrition science history, trace minerals were discussed almost exclusively in the context of deficiency diseases. Iodine prevented goiter, iron prevented anemia, and zinc supported growth ...

A team of biochemists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, has developed a faster way to identify molecules in the ...

Explore India's potential in bio-based chemicals and enzymes, highlighting industry leaders and challenges in sustainable ...

Researchers just announced the discovery of an enzyme that can convert the hydrogen in the air directly into energy. The enzyme, called Huc, is both very stable and very efficient, leading to hopes it ...

Deep in your muscles, an enzyme called AMPD1 helps turn chemical fuel into usable energy. When it does not work well, muscles tire faster.

A single type of chemical structure that shows up again and again in modern medicine is the amide bond that links a carbonyl ...

Fish oil’s cancer-fighting reputation may hinge on a little-known gene. Researchers discovered that omega-3s like EPA and DHA help curb colorectal cancer only when the enzyme ALOX15 is present.
