WEHI researchers have led a major global effort to create the first authoritative atlas for a class of enzymes that regulate almost every cellular process in the human body. Published in Cell, the ...

Today's nearly $70 billion U.S. biofuels economy is powered by two technology toolboxes. Biochemical technologies—used to produce around 17 billion gallons of ethanol annually—leverage microorganisms ...

By reconstructing ancient nitrogen-processing enzymes, scientists are uncovering new clues about how early life survived on a ...

Microtubules, the dynamic filaments that form the cell's internal scaffolding, have long been viewed as mere passive ...

Protein structure and dynamics are intimately linked with biological activity. Understanding the physical basis for this activity requires knowledge of the equilibrium and kinetic properties of the ...

How can we know what life on Earth looked like more than three billion years ago, when rocks from that era are so rare and difficult to exploit? To answer this question, researchers have adopted ...

The field of microbial enzyme research is rapidly evolving as biotechnology and industrial processes increasingly depend on the exploitation of microbial ...

Synthetic biology is the design and construction of new biological parts, devices, and systems, and the re-design of existing, natural biological systems for useful purposes. We developed a strategy ...

Purdue Extension’s Community Childcare team has been working with local providers to effect change. Carroll County ranked 91st out of 92 counties. Samantha Miller has seen this firsthand as the ...
