Clifford P. Brangwynne smashed the single-celled embryo between a microscope slide and a thin glass cover slip. Then he peered into the microscope to get a look at the cell, taken from a worm commonly ...

The origin of life from Earth’s primordial chemistry has long fascinated and perplexed us. Generations of scientists have endeavored to understand how complex biochemistry developed from organic ...

A Northwestern Engineering synthetic biology research team has developed a method to selectively drive the fusion of lipid nanoparticles — an emerging carrier for therapeutics — resulting in protein ...

Scientists at the University of Basel report the development of a precisely controllable system for mimicking biochemical reaction cascades in cells. Using microfluidic technology, the team produces ...

Life evolved from simple geochemical processes present on the early Earth. However, the details of this transformation remain a mystery. In this study, researchers modeled the emergence of metabolic ...

Enzymes catalyze the critical chemical reactions that help build and power living organisms. But chemists studying the origin of life on Earth face a vexing question: How did these metabolic reactions ...

For much of nutrition science history, trace minerals were discussed almost exclusively in the context of deficiency diseases ...

AS is pointed out in the preface, this book does not claim to be a general text-book of biochemistry. Hence, it is necessary, in the first place, to indicate the nature of its contents. The first two ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract It is observed that a significant number of reactions are stoichiometrically unbalanced in the existing databases (e.g. MetaCyc), even in ...
