A naturally occurring protein can break down chlorite, an industrial pollutant found in groundwater, drinking water, and soils, into harmless byproducts
Products made from converted lignin could subsidize biofuel production, making the cost of biofuels more competitive with petroleum
American and New Zealand researchers use experimental evidence to overturn widely-accepted theory on the dawn of life on Earth
Scientists tip balance of plant metabolism to increase oil content in leaves with aim of making biofuels and related useful chemicals
Resurrected 500 million-year-old protein shows researchers how chance shaped biological history
A Virginia Tech research team has discovered that the olive-derived compound oleuropein helps the body secrete more insulin, a central signaling molecule in the body that controls metabolism
The evolutionary path to first proteins may have been paved with relatively easy, small square-dance steps
The work offers scientists a way to adjust the properties of existing dyes deliberately, making them bolder, brighter, and more cell-permeable
