The design of enzymes with complex active sites that mediate multistep reactions remains an outstanding challenge. With serine hydrolases as a model system, we combined the generative capabilities of RFdiffusion with an ensemble generation method for ...

Drylands are the backbone of global agriculture, supporting 44% of the world’s farming. Yet, they are under siege. Climate change, land degradation, and water scarcity are transforming these essential regions into barren landscapes, threatening the ...

High sugar–containing foods are readily consumed, even after meals and beyond fullness sensation (e.g., as desserts). Although reward-driven processing of palatable foods can promote overeating, the neurobiological mechanisms that underlie the selective ...

The requirement for C2H2 concentrations below 2 parts per million (ppm) in gas streams for C2H4 polymerization necessitates its semihydrogenation to C2H4. We demonstrate selective chemical looping combustion of C2H2 in C2H4-rich streams by Bi2O3 as an ...

Genome-wide hypertranscription is common in human cancer and predicts poor prognosis. To understand how hypertranscription might drive cancer, we applied our formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE)–cleavage under targeted accessible chromatin method for ...

In July 2024, India began seeking additional deep-sea exploration licenses from the International Seabed Authority for the purpose of mining metals such as nickel, manganese, and copper from the Clarion-Clipperton Zone in the Pacific Ocean (1). These metals are central to the development of a green-energy economy (2). However, deep-sea mining disrupts marine ecosystems and could reduce marine carbon sequestration. India should not expand its mining activities until its effects on deep-sea biodiversity, and deep-sea species’ effects on carbon sequestration, are better understood.
