Scientists discovered hundreds of energy-making enzymes secretly working on human DNA—revealing a hidden “mini-metabolism” ...

If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by researchers at Goethe University Frankfurt, part of the Rhine-Main University ...

A new family of enzymes enables precise cuts in single-stranded DNA, offering powerful new tools for genetic engineering and expanding possibilities in biotechnology. (Nanowerk News) A few years ago, ...

Deep in your muscles, an enzyme called AMPD1 helps turn chemical fuel into usable energy. When it does not work well, muscles tire faster.

Researchers studying a DNA-cutting enzyme with a crucial role in regulating the structure of genes have discovered a broad role for its cutting activity in driving abnormal genetic rearrangements ...

Inside every cell, a finely tuned metabolic network determines when to build, recycle, or stop producing essential molecules. A central part of this network is folate metabolism, a process that ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Genetic engineering has brought us revolutionary advances in medicine, biotechnology, and our understanding of life itself. However, the precise manipulation of DNA sequences has ...

Frances Arnold's game-changing technique of "directed evolution" creates enzymes with unusual capabilities. Her own evolution made it possible.

Researchers at the University of Missouri announced on March 1, 2026, that they are developing what they describe as a ...

Researchers have uncovered how a key DNA repair enzyme is recruited and activated inside cells, answering long-standing questions about how cells protect and repair their DNA and providing the ...
