Halophilic and halotolerant microorganisms, as members of the extremophile group, hold significant potential for both industrial applications and astrobiological research.
The residue-specific incorporation of noncanonical amino acids in auxotrophic hosts allows the global exchange of a canonical amino acid with its noncanonical analog.
Artificial chemistry simulations produce many intriguing emergent behaviors, but they are often difficult to steer or control.
The genetic code, which has been nearly universal across all known life for billions of years, utilises 64 triplets of DNA and RNA bases, known as codons, to encode 20 […]
Biofilms are self-organized communities of microorganisms that are encased in an extracellular polymeric matrix and often found attached to surfaces. Biofilms are widely present on Earth, often found in diverse […]
Astrobiology, while traditionally focused on understanding the origin of life on Earth and the potential for life elsewhere, offers powerful tools and insights for addressing urgent challenges on our planet.
The targeted engineering of artificial proteins with unique properties – that is possible with the assistance of a novel method developed by a research team led by Prof. Dr Dominik […]
Researchers have for the first time isolated a compound that could open new doors in understanding the chemistry that supports life in space.
A new study from researchers at the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) reveals that extremely simple peptides can mimic a biological process that protects […]
Molecular assembly offers a promising path to detect life beyond Earth, while minimizing assumptions based on terrestrial life.
