Researchers have developed a more efficient platform for studying proteins that play a key role in regulating gene expression. The approach uses engineered yeast cells to produce enzyme and histone ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. – University at Buffalo researchers have identified for the first time an enzyme in the foxglove plant that is responsible for the production of compounds needed to make the heart ...

Nucleotide synthesis—the production of the basic components of DNA and RNA—is essential for cell growth and division. In most animal cells, this process depends closely on properly functioning ...

There are more than 60 documented types of modifications to the histone proteins that form the backbone of DNA, and studying the role of these marks is complicated. For one, the cellular environment ...

A team of scientists at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands managed to successfully insert human muscle genes into a bit of baker’s yeast for the first time. The human genes in question ...

Researchers demonstrate the implementation of a remote laboratory activity to teach students about enzyme kinetics. The COVID-19 pandemic forced teachers across the globe to embrace remote learning.

Nucleotide synthesis—the production of the basic components of DNA and RNA—is essential for cell growth and division. In most animal cells, this process depends closely on properly functioning ...

Mitochondrial diseases are severe, often untreatable, and they leave human cells unable to grow normally without outside help. A new study published in Nature Metabolism now shows that a single gene ...
