As bispecifics, ADCs, protein degraders, and AI-designed mini-proteins move into the clinic, discovery teams face a new bottleneck: engineering and producing molecules whose complexity challenges ...

How can the field of synthetic biology help improve engineered living materials (ELMs)? This is what a recent study published in ACS Synthetic Biology hopes to address as a team of researchers led by ...

Researchers from ETH Zurich have succeeded in introducing large quantities of unnatural amino acids into bacteria, enabling ...

A new startup founded by a former Google DeepMind scientist is exiting stealth with $50 million in funding. Latent Labs is building AI foundation models to “make biology programmable,” and it plans to ...

The diagram illustrates the key stages of protein synthesis in a eukaryotic cell. It begins with transcription to produce pre-mRNA in the nucleus (1), followed by post-transcriptional modification (2) ...

To build proteins, cells rely on a molecule called transfer RNA, or tRNA. tRNAs act like protein-building couriers, where they read the genetic instructions from messenger RNA, mRNA, and deliver the ...

“Write me a concise summary of Mission Impossible characters and plots to date,” I recently asked ChatGPT before catching the latest franchise entry. It delivered. I didn’t need to understand its code ...

Ribosomes are the cell's protein factories, which read the genetic code and assemble the proteins that every organism needs to live. But as far as how ribosomes themselves were formed, tantalizingly ...

Structural biology--the study of the three-dimensional shapes of biological macromolecules--has always been a facet of biological research, from the detection of cells in the earliest days of ...

While companies like OpenAI and Anthropic continue to popularize the idea of using ordinary language to ask artificial intelligence agents for answers to their questions, write their proposals or draw ...
