In biology, enzymes have evolved over millions of years to drive chemical reactions. Scientists have now derived universal rules to enable the de novo design of optimal enzymes. As an example, they ...

Biohub today announced the release of a world model of protein biology: a scientific engine for prediction, design, and ...

Researchers have discovered how acids on the surface of bacteria give these microscopic organisms their characteristic "rod" ...

Cytochrome oxidases are ubiquitous enzymes of the heme–copper superfamily that catalyse the four-electron reduction of dioxygen to water while coupling this chemistry to proton translocation across ...

Tilting the scales at 4.7 megadaltons and reaching 1 micron in length, the newly discovered algal enzyme PKZILLA-1 is the largest protein ever identified in biology. Indeed, PKZILLA-1 is 25% larger ...

Carbon dioxide has long looked more like waste than resource. A new solar reactor turns it into living bacterial biomass ...

Usually enzyme complexes make multistep processes easier by catalyzing sequential reactions in which the product of one enzyme becomes the substrate for the next. In a new finding, researchers report ...

With this investment, bitBiome is poised to accelerate its mission to discover and engineer microbial enzymes and pathways at scale, leveraging its deeply curated and fast-expandi ...

Proteins are critical to life—and to industry. There are countless proteins that could be engineered to treat and even cure ...
