Scientists have developed a new method of determining gene function in a breakthrough that could have major implications for our understanding of the processes of life. Scientists at the University of ...

MECHANISTIC ENZYMOLOGY has traditionally focused on step-by-step explanations of the way enzymes do their jobs. To a large degree it still does, and there's nothing wrong with that. Such studies are ...

Chemical probes are critical tools for elucidating the biological functions of proteins and can lead to new medicines for treating disease. The pharmacological validation of protein function requires ...

Enhancers are genetic elements that have major roles in determining cell type-specific gene expression patterns and responses to internal and external signals. Mammalian genomes contain millions of ...
