In a pair of cross-appeals from the International Trade Commission, the Federal Circuit affirmed the Commission’s ruling that one of CJ CheilJedang Corp.’s engineered bacterial strains infringed ...

Scientists have developed a way of finding optimal peptide sequences: using a machine-learning algorithm as a collaborator. The algorithm analyzes experimental data and offers suggestions on the next ...

Detecting cancer in the earliest stages could dramatically reduce cancer deaths because cancers are usually easier to treat ...

With the “improper Markush grouping” rejection, U.S. patent examiners may reject claims reciting various alternative polynucleotide or polypeptide sequences. However, there is no per se rule that ...

Protein production (translation) is a complex process involving machinery called ribosomes. How do cells counter ribosomal destabilization leading to premature termination of translation? Scientists ...

Peptides have emerged as critical tools in the investigation of physiological homeostasis, specifically in how biological systems manage energy substrates and recover from physical trauma. By ...

Scientists and engineers have long been interested in synthesizing peptides — chains of amino acids responsible for conducting many functions within cells — to both mimic nature and to perform new ...
