Recent trends in directed enzyme evolution focus on combining high-throughput screening methods with advanced biophysical tools and data-driven computational approaches. However, these methods pose ...

Researchers from the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology (MIB) have developed a new enzyme engineering platform to improve plastic degrading enzymes through directed evolution. To illustrate the ...

For the first time, scientists have engineered an enzyme that can break stubborn man-made bonds between silicon and carbon that exist in widely used chemicals known as siloxanes, or silicones. The ...

Enzymes catalyze chemical reactions in organisms - without which life would not be possible. Leveraging AlphaFold2 artificial intelligence, researchers at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin have now ...

Frances Arnold, 2018 recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, was presented the Tufts' Department of Chemistry's Max Tishler Award in the Pearson Chemical Laboratory on Thursday. Arnold is the Linus ...

Scientists have developed a novel approach to modifying enzymes to improve functionality. They designed a new algorithm to make multiple changes to an enzyme sequence at once as compared to the ...

In nature, evolution takes years to sculpt new traits. In the lab, scientists hope to achieve this feat much faster: Being able to evolve proteins with enhanced or novel functions has important ...

Directed evolution,' which induces mutations in genetic material to create useful functions, is considered a core technology ...
