Artificial intelligence for predicting the function of enzymes has made significant progress!

Enzymes are important biological catalysts in all living cells: they facilitate chemical reactions, through which all molecules important for living organisms are produced from specific substrates. Most living organisms possess thousands of different enzymes, each of which is responsible for a very specific reaction. The combined action of all enzymes constitutes the metabolic system, which…

How does a cell factory work?

Did you know that “tiny” cells are also ‘factories’? Nowadays, biosynthesis technology with the concept of “green and sustainable development” is playing an increasingly important role. However, the protagonists of this clean revolution are not the factories with tall chimneys, but the micron-sized microorganisms (most of them), known as “cell factories”. Q1 So, how do…
