(Nanowerk News) Most life on Earth is based on polymers of 20 amino acids that have evolved into hundreds of thousands of different, highly specialized proteins. They catalyze reactions, form backbone ...

Affinity purification of proteins is an efficient and fast bioseparation technique aimed at purification of individual proteins. With the rapid advancement of gene technology, it has become possible ...

Most life on Earth is based on polymers of 20 amino acids that have evolved into hundreds of thousands of different, highly specialized proteins. They catalyze reactions, form backbone and muscle and ...

Biocatalysis, which involves the use of enzymes, microbes, and higher organisms to carry out chemical reactions, is well established in the production of pharmaceuticals, food, agrochemicals, and fine ...

Synthetic biologists have become increasingly creative in engineering yeast or bacteria to churn out useful chemicals - from fuels to fabrics and drugs - beyond the normal repertoire of microbes. But ...

This article is based on a poster originally authored by Philip Rawlins, Jim Reid, William Lee, Holly Madden, Soumya Dhanavade, James Craswell, Satya Bhamidimarri, Anna Hopkins, Joe Mason, Marieke ...

Researchers hoping to design new materials for energy uses have developed a system to make synthetic polymers -- some would say plastics -- with the versatility of nature's own polymers, the ...

Researchers have synthesized a bio-inspired polymer for water purification. The polymer was designed to mimic phytochelatin, a plant protein that selectively captures and neutralizes harmful heavy ...

Scientists have developed the first cells that can construct artificial polymers from building blocks that are not found in nature, by following instructions the researchers encoded in their genes.

A modern research environment needs to have comprehensive information about the molecular properties of a sample, including accurate and precise molecular weight measurements. Although single detector ...
