New gene-editing method targets cancer DNA while sparing healthy cells
Most gene-editing tools cut DNA wherever they’re pointed, with no way to tell a tumor cell from a healthy one. A study ...
Their findings, published in a Cell Reports paper titled “Palmitoylation and PDE6δ regulate membrane-compartment-specific substrate ubiquitylation and degradation,” have implications for developing ...
While most enzymatic activity is conducted through chemical binding interactions between molecules, in some cases, the mere presence of an enzyme can affect intracellular functions. While exploring ...
Most of the carbon fixed by plants through photosynthesis is ultimately stored in the cell wall, primarily in the ...
Healthy cells are constantly breaking down proteins and building up new ones with the help of enzymes aptly named unfoldases, because they unravel proteins tagged for destruction or recycling. Now, a ...

Study shows bacterial enzyme threads collagen through a ring to break it down
Researchers have captured a bacterial enzyme in the act of encircling collagen and pulling a single strand through its ring-shaped body, a mechanism that rewrites the prevailing understanding of how ...
The latest short science news items from C&EN. The team proposes that SAM plays a dual role in the reaction. It donates a methyl group to the enzyme’s cobalamin cofactor and then serves as a base when ...
