This ability to cut any chosen DNA sequence can be used for gene editing; in tandem with other enzymes and/or DNA sequences, it can be used to insert or delete additional short sequences ...

Once eukaryotic cells took up these enzymes, they adapted to their new home and began to use signals in those cells, including one that gave them access to DNA in the nucleus. The active site on the ...

The result: the enzymes that transcribe DNA can't tell the difference between these synthetic base pairs and those found in nature. "In biology, structure determines function," said Wang.

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) reveal that metabolic enzymes known for their roles in energy production and nucleotide synthesis are taking on unexpected "second jobs ...

A new family of enzymes enables precise cuts in single-stranded DNA, offering powerful new tools for genetic engineering and expanding possibilities in biotechnology.

The result: the enzymes that transcribe DNA can’t tell the difference between these synthetic base pairs and those found in nature. “In biology, structure determines function,” said Wang.

A new study shows that the DNA repair enzyme Polβ plays a vital role in protecting the developing brain from harmful ...

At school, it's often presented as a tidy double helix but scientists are revealing the varied and intricate shapes of DNA ...

In vitro findings reveal Telomir-1’s dual action: targeting DNA methylation switches and cutting into the Wnt “fuel line” that drives cancer growth. MIAMI, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / August 28, 2025 ...

An entirely new approach to inhibiting DNA-cleaving enzymes works through the aggregation of an otherwise non-toxic molecule. This discovery may lead to a much-needed method for curbing ...

The Age of AI will rely on massive volumes of data that can be easily stored and retrieved—and bioscience may have an ...

Researchers develop TADPOLE, an enzyme-free black phosphorus quantum dot system for site-specific DNA cleavage using light, offering advantages over traditional methods.
