Proteins are the workhorses of biological systems, performing essential functions ranging from structural support to enzymatic catalysis and cellular communication. Accurate characterization of ...

Enzymes are molecular machines that carry out the chemical reactions that sustain all life, an ability that has captured the ...

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism — a novel genomically recoded organism ...

A study published in December by Duke professor Rohit Singh and his team proposes a new computational model called antibody ...

Now researchers from The Rockefeller University have unearthed intriguing genetic evidence: a protein variant found only in humans that may have helped shape the emergence of spoken language.

Yale researchers have created "Ochre," a genomically recoded organism that enables the production of synthetic proteins with novel properties, paving the way for groundbreaking applications in ...

It uses the same 4 bases to code for the same set of 20 amino acids to produce all proteins across all organisms. This suggests that all organisms are derived from the one initial common ancestor.

In the human version, the "language gene" has one amino acid change. However, scientists have introduced the human speech ...

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism—a novel genomically recoded organism (GRO) with one stop codon—using a cellular platform that they developed ...
