This article explores limitations of chemical synthesis in high-throughput settings and the technical advantages enzymatic ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in ...

Proteins are essential biological molecules that perform a vast array of functions crucial for life, from catalyzing ...

DNA is the raw material of modern medicine yet is the only part of drug development not accessible at the lab bench. DNA synthesis, the first step in most biological workflows including gene synthesis ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids, but cannot simply accumulate inside the cell forever. Once they have done their ...

Epigenome editing has followed a similar path, in that more recent technological breakthroughs have enabled scientists to apply the discoveries made in previous decades. Epigenome editing performs a ...

Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...

To our immune system, a potentially lifesaving gene therapy can look a lot like a dangerous infection. That's because most ...

For years, ETH researchers have been investigating a molecular complex that plays a key role in protein synthesis. They have ...
