A few years ago, the advent of technology known as CRISPR was a major breakthrough in the scientific world. Developed from a ...

Now, a new study from Scripps Research demonstrates a proof of concept for a new strategy: engineering proteases—enzymes that cut proteins at specific sites—to selectively degrade these ...

For the first time, Professor Veyrier and his team at INRS have discovered a family of enzymes that can cut specific sequences in single-stranded DNA. These enzymes, called site-specific ...

An INRS research team has identified a new family of enzymes that can make precise cuts in single-stranded DNA. A few years ago, the introduction of CRISPR technology marked a significant breakthrough ...

“As soon as the Type II restriction enzymes were discovered—and HindII in particular—it was obvious that you could take a fairly large DNA and cut it into smaller pieces. And that offered you the ...

When eaten, it produces antibodies which fight off deadly disease. Restriction enzymes cut DNA creating complementary ‘sticky ends’ that join by base pairing. A different enzyme is used to ...
