They use something called ancestral sequence reconstruction (ASR) to figure out what ancient enzymes might have looked like. T
Did you know that tiny particles called conjugated oligoelectrolytes (COEs) and conjugated polyelectrolytes (CPEs) are making big waves in science? These cool materials have special backbones with little ionic bits at the ends, making them easy to mix in water. Over the last ten years, they've becom
Metal ions are super important in our bodies, helping with everything from keeping us healthy to treating diseases. Proteins and enzymes play a big role in how our bodies handle these metals and how medicines that contain metals work. Being able to see and identify these metal-binding proteins in li
