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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The protein factories in our cells – so-called ribosomes – have a central task: during a process known as translation, amino acids are linked together ...
