The cost-effective, easy-to-use T7 expression system has been integral to Escherichia coli protein production since its introduction in 1986. Now, a just-developed enhancement is making it even better ...

Escherichia coli remains at the forefront of recombinant protein production, owing to its rapid growth, well-characterised genetics and the ease with which it can be genetically manipulated. The ...

Codon optimization is a central strategy in recombinant protein production, enabling genes from one organism to be efficiently expressed in another. Conventional methods typically replace ...

The genomes of phages—viruses that infect bacteria—are largely composed of "dark matter": genes that encode proteins whose functions remain unknown. Less than four years ago, a team led by Prof. Rotem ...

In what they labeled a “surprising” finding, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers studying bacteria from freshwater lakes and soil say they have determined a protein’s essential role in maintaining the ...

Scientists at MIT have discovered that a little-known protein called intelectin-2 plays a powerful double role in defending ...

What if bacteria held the keys to a part of our own immunity? For several years, some scientists have been exploring unexpected links between human proteins involved in the body's defense and certain ...

White adipose tissue stores energy, while brown and beige fat burn energy through thermogenesis. Under certain environmental ...
