EPFL researchers have developed a light-based method that can produce proteins that switch states, respond to signals, and even compute, using light and the cell cycle.

A research team has unveiled a breakthrough in understanding how specific genetic sequences, known as pseudogenes, evolve. Rice University's Peter Wolynes and his research team have unveiled a ...

Directed Evolution (DE) is a method developed by Nobel laureate Frances Arnold to improve protein fitness for specific applications. However, DE can be less efficient when mutations show epistatic ...

Scientists have developed a novel approach to modifying enzymes to improve functionality. They designed a new algorithm to make multiple changes to an enzyme sequence at once as compared to the ...

A team of researchers reconstructed long-extinct proteins of a UV protection system of cyanobacteria. The surprising result: the proteins were already compatible with each other when they first met.

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. ATP synthase protein Synthesizing new proteins – the building blocks of biological life – is a scientific field of immense ...

Thought too hard to do, a new platform evolved proteins in mammalian cells, which could help researchers design drugs that work better in humans. “There are many, many examples, both published and ...

Protein engineering is a powerful biotechnological process that focuses on creating new enzymes or proteins and improving the functions of existing ones by manipulating their natural macromolecular ...
