New discovery suggest that all life may share a common design principle.
New finding suggests differences in how humans and bacteria control production of DNA's building blocks.
Using a state-of-the-art type of electron microscopy, an MIT-led team has discovered the structure of an enzyme that is crucial for maintaining an adequate supply of DNA building blocks in human cells.
An abundant enzyme in marine microbes may be responsible for production of the greenhouse gas.
