Biochemists are working on substances that are to help fighting three widespread diseases: depression, chronic pain and obesity. A team led by biochemistry professor Felix Hausch of the TU Darmstadt ...

Biochemists have created the largest protein ever that self-assembles into a molecular cage. Their designed protein, which does not exist in nature, is hundreds of times smaller than a human cell. The ...

Biochemists at the University of California San Diego have uncovered patterns in the outer protein coat of group A Streptococcus that could finally lead to a vaccine against this highly infectious ...

Biochemists have warned farmers against using corrosive chemicals as fertilisers to hasten crop germination, saying the practice threatens food safety and could contaminate produce. They explained ...

Biochemists at Oxford have adapted a protein from a species of flesh-eating bacteria into a kind of "superglue" that may improve cancer detection. Streptococcus pyogenes is a particularly nasty ...

Biochemists from RUDN University described how to prevent cancer cells from becoming resistant to chemotherapy drugs. Having determined the resistance mechanism, biochemists selected a drug that can ...

Robert Shepherd, a Ph.D. student in the Sanchez Lab, was the lead author of the paper published on February 5 describing a new high-throughput assay. A team of biochemists at the University of ...

Mitochondria are cellular organelles that play an important role in making ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the molecular fuel that powers most cellular functions. These organelles originated over a ...

Biochemistry is the study of the chemicals and chemistry of living organisms. Biochemists study biomolecules (such as proteins, RNA, DNA, sugars, and lipids), their applications and interactions in ...

Biochemistry explores chemical processes related to living organisms. It is a laboratory-based science combining biology and chemistry. Biochemists study the structure, composition, and chemical ...
