Simple microbubble robots use enzymes to navigate tumors and deliver drugs
Microrobots have long promised precision drug delivery inside the human body, but making them ...
A single type of chemical structure that shows up again and again in modern medicine is the amide bond that links a carbonyl ...
Researchers developed a gene-editing tool called CRISPR by utilizing a system bacteria use to defend themselves from invaders. It involves an enzyme that can cut the genome, Cas9. But that’s not the ...
Humans dispose of 400 million tons of plastic every year. Newly designed enzymes could offer a route to breaking down some of that trash into useful molecules. Scientists have developed a new enzyme ...
Researchers have found an unusual, light-dependent enzyme in microalgae. A new project at the Department of Engineering, Aarhus University, will use the enzyme in a system to produce drop-in fuels ...
Chemists have been practicing organic chemistry for hundreds of years; microbes have been at it even longer. Microbial and other enzymes are superbly enantio-, chemo-, and regioselective across a ...
An MIT study suggests some early life forms may have evolved the ability to use oxygen hundreds of millions of years before ...
