  • Scientists use computational modeling to design “ultrastable” materials

    Posted:
    April 4, 2023

    These highly stable metal-organic frameworks could be useful for applications such as capturing greenhouse gases. Materials known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have a rigid, cage-like structure that lends itself to a variety of applications, from gas storage to drug delivery. By changing the building blocks that go into the materials, or the way they are…

    January 4, 2023

    Gene-Wei Li investigates the rules that cells use to maintain the correct ratio of the proteins they need to survive. A typical bacterial genome contains more than 4,000 genes, which encode all of the proteins that the cells need to survive. How do cells know just how much of each protein they need for their…

  • A new control system for synthetic genes

    Posted:
    November 1, 2022

    Researchers have developed a technique that could help fine-tune the production of monoclonal antibodies and other useful proteins.   Using an approach based on the CRISPR gene-editing system, MIT researchers have developed a new way to precisely control the amount of a particular protein that is produced in mammalian cells.  Credits: Cell image: Matthew Daniels, edited…
