Quantum effects are no longer confined to ultra-cold chips and vacuum chambers. For the first time, researchers are deliberately engineering living cells so that they behave like quantum bits, hinting ...

Life evolved from simple geochemical processes present on the early Earth. However, the details of this transformation remain a mystery. In this study, researchers modeled the emergence of metabolic ...

Metabolism can be defined as the total amount of biochemical reactions in a biological organism that maintain the healthy operation of cells. Furthermore, it provides the energy necessary for ...

For more than a century, fossils meant bones, shells and the occasional imprint of a leaf. Now, a wave of research is showing ...

WOULD YOU like the vanilla in your custard to come from a field of lovely orchids or a barrel of wood pulp? The second option may not seem as appetising, but synthetic vanillin, as vanilla’s ...

The Biochemistry Major is administered by the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and includes courses provided by both Chemistry and the Department of Biology. As a field, biological chemistry ...

The central dogma of molecular biology holds that DNA gets transcribed into RNA, which then gets translated into proteins. Of course, there are exceptions—some viruses, like coronaviruses, forego DNA ...

Metabolism is the "beating heart of the cell". New research from ELSI retraces the history of metabolism from the primordial Earth to the modern day (left to right). The history of compound discovery ...
