Basel researchers merge MHAT chemistry with enzymes, opening new pathways for greener pharmaceutical synthesis.
In a recent study by the team, they discovered the 3D structure of a protein called TnpB, a probable precursor to the CRISPR-Cas12 enzyme. Their findings appeared in the journal Nature.
To ascertain the structure of uMtCK, the scientists captured images using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM). This technology enables investigators to create 3D images of proteins and their ...
Researchers at the University of Basel have repurposed a natural enzyme so that it catalyzes a highly challenging chemical ...

The structure of a key enzyme involved in protein production is revealed by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Using cryo-EM, researchers at Goethe University (Frankfurt, Germany) shed light on ...
The structure indicates that this artificially selected ribozyme uses reaction mechanisms that are much like those used by naturally occuring enzymes, Robertson said. “The L1 ligase appears to use ...
In the last 40 years, scientists have perfected ways to determine the knot-like structures of enzymes, but they’ve been stumped trying to translate the structure of enzymes into an understanding of ...
Cold sore-causing HSV-1 doesn't just hijack cells it reconfigures the entire architecture of our DNA to aid its invasion. Researchers discovered that it actively reshapes the 3D structure of the ...
UPTON, NY—Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory have produced the first atomic-level structure of an enzyme that selectively cuts carbon-hydrogen bonds ...
