Researchers are continually looking for new ways to hack the cellular machinery of microbes like yeast and bacteria to make products that are useful for humans and society. In a new proof-of-concept ...

CABBI Postdoc Zhengyi Zhang works at the Carl R. Woese Institute for Genomic Biology (IGB) at Illinois. Using photocatalysis, Zhang and his co-authors developed a more cost-effective, eco-friendly way ...

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. They are essential for life, as they play a crucial role in various biological processes, such as digestion, ...
