According to new research, a simple two-carbon compound may have been a crucial player in the evolution of metabolism before the advent of cells. An…
“We think the kind of reactions we’ve described are probably what could have happened on early Earth,” says Ramanarayanan Krishnamurthy. The reaction generates the building…
Specific 29-amino-acid sequence from LAMP-1 serves as a “Lewis X code,” which is deciphered by FUT9, and it can be embedded into erythropoietin to evoke…

The discovery might have far-reaching consequences for the treatment of brain diseases caused by abnormalities in synaptic information processing and exchange. Enzymes are used by…
A breakthrough discovery could result in more effective asthma treatments. Scientists have discovered differences in the biochemistry of asthmatic and non-asthmatics — which could lead…
A research team has been able to describe the underlying process of how a certain protein in blood vessel cells contributes to the development of…
New research reveals the physical basis for why approved antibody therapeutics are not working in neutralizing the recent COVID-19 variants of concern, such as Omicron…
A special sugar molecule has been discovered by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers that could play a key role in the development of Alzheimer’s disease. In…
Scientists have found a biological mechanism that has never been described before, which may help explain the disturbed blood coagulation that has often been observed…
Brazilian researchers discovered, characterized, and validated the functions of two novel enzyme families with biotechnological potential. One method of reducing reliance on oil and other…
Chirality preference in living matter may arise spontaneously to optimize energy harvesting. When one holds a right hand in front of a mirror, the reflected…
When cyanobacteria live in low-light conditions, such as beneath a pond surface or under a plant canopy on a forest floor, some are able to…
That cherry flavor you enjoy in candy and soda is likely a combination of aromatic and flavor compounds discovered through the study of plants in…
