Recent trends in directed enzyme evolution focus on combining high-throughput screening methods with advanced biophysical tools and data-driven computational approaches. However, these methods pose ...
Today, the Royal Swedish Academy announced the winners of this year’s Nobel prize for Chemistry: one half goes to Prof. Frances Arnold from the California Institute for Technology, the other half to ...
A peer-reviewed study published in Cell in March 2026 introduces “optovolution,” an in vivo directed-evolution system that uses light to breed proteins capable of switching between active and inactive ...
4D Molecular Therapeutics is a biotechnology company that develops genetic medicines using its Therapeutic Vector Evolution platform. The company's pipeline includes promising ophthalmology, ...
In nature, enzymes are the catalysts that make much of biology work. They jumpstart chemical reactions that either wouldn’t happen, or would happen super slowly. They break down food, build other ...
In 2012, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) approached the National Research Council and asked that an ad hoc committee be formed to develop a list of workshop topics to explore the impact of ...
For the first time, scientists have engineered an enzyme that can break stubborn man-made bonds between silicon and carbon that exist in widely-used chemicals known as siloxanes, or silicones. The ...
Enzymes catalyze chemical reactions in organisms - without which life would not be possible. Leveraging AlphaFold2 artificial intelligence, researchers at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin have now ...
A team of biochemists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, has developed a faster way to identify molecules in the lab that could lead to more effective pharmaceuticals. The discovery advances ...
