The search space for protein engineering grows exponentially with complexity. A protein of just 100 amino acids has 20100 ...

Alt-protein companies scaling their fermentation processes beyond the lab face numerous challenges that require them to think through production processes, raw ingredients, and the design of a ...

One of the challenges for alternative proteins, particularly plant-based, is developing a product that mimics the taste of traditional meat. Many startups have taken on this challenge. But the ...

San Diego’s Illumina is the world leader in gene sequencing technology — the ability to read and record DNA. Now, the billion-dollar company is buying another in a bid to expand its portfolio in ...

AI-driven autonomous robots are coming to biology laboratories, but researchers insist that human skills remain essential.

New scientific theory based on ancient proteins suggests that genes did not arise as we believed and that life could have started elsewhere.

The search space for protein engineering grows exponentially with complexity. A protein of just 100 amino acids has 20^100 possible variants-more combinations than atoms in the observable universe.

AMES, Iowa – Research teams led by Edward Yu of Iowa State University and the Ames Laboratory have described the structures of two proteins they believe pump antibiotics from bacteria, allowing the ...

Whether enjoyed on its own or mixed into a latte, Americano or even a martini, espresso provides an ultra-concentrated jolt of caffeine to coffee lovers. But it might do more than just wake you up.
