DOMEK is a multi-step pipeline which leverages mRNA display-derived next-generation sequencing data to derive kinetic information about substrates of post-translational modification enzymes.

Elevated liver enzymes can be a sign of injury or inflammation of your liver. Alcohol, medications, or diseases are common causes of high liver enzymes. Lifestyle changes like regular exercise and a ...

A new method that successfully designs serine hydrolase enzymes capable of catalyzing ester hydrolysis with high efficiency, demonstrates a computational approach for creating de novo enzymes that ...

They are less costly to procure, have insignificant operating expenses, and require only marginal laboratory setup compared to their larger, floor-standing counterparts. Despite being inherently less ...

A research team describes how they engineered an efficient new enzyme that can produce a synthetic genetic material called threose nucleic acid. The ability to synthesize artificial chains of TNA, ...

Biocatalysis is becoming a data science. High-throughput experimentation generates a rapidly increasing stream of biocatalytic data, which is the raw material for mechanistic and novel data-driven ...
