The team evaluated more than 4,000 clones before identifying an enzyme S N Ar1.3 that contains six mutations and is 160-fold more active than the parent enzyme.

Temperature affects enzyme-catalysed reactions by influencing the rate at which they occur. For a reaction to occur between an enzyme and substrate the two molecules need to collide. At lower ...

The engineered enzymes had similar gene-editing efficiency and reduced immune responses compared to standard nucleases in mice. Appearing today in Nature Communications, the findings could help ...

CRISPR technology holds significant potential for enhancing both the yield and quality of active ingredients in medicinal plants. By precisely regulating the expression of key enzymes and ...
