¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder researchers have developed a new approach to designing more sustainable buildings with help from some of the tiniest contractors out there.

Researchers have discovered the structure of the FACT protein—a mysterious protein central to the functioning of DNA

Lab Venture Challenge awards $900,000 to promising bioscience, physical science and engineering ventures

Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT), an enzyme associated with nearly all malignant human cancers, is even more diverse and unconventional than previously realized according to new research by ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Biochem and BioFrontiers' Distinguished Professor Thomas Cech and Professor John Rinn.

¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder and Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) biochemists have revealed a key regulatory process in a gene-suppressing protein group that could hold future applications for drug discovery and clinical treatment of diseases, including cancer.

A new drug therapy for cancer treatment, spun out of research performed in a ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder biochemistry lab , may provide better results for patients with solid cancers and hematologic cancers, such as leukemia and lymphoma.

NIH’s High-Risk, High-Reward Research program to fund Sabrina Spencer’s ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder research that could shed light on cancer treatment Scientists do not fully understand how cells choose between proliferation and quiescence (a state of non-proliferation) but a University of Colorado Boulder biochemist’s novel proposal to study the issue has won...

Pioneering biochemists Natalie Ahn and Karolin Luger have been inducted into the National Academy of Sciences, an honor that recognizes "distinguished and continuing achievements in original research." Membership in the prestigious organization is widely considered to be one of the highest honors that a scientist can receive.

The National Academy of Inventors (NAI) named two ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder faculty members to its class of fellows for 2017. Distinguished Professor Marvin Caruthers of ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry was honored for his pioneering contributions to the chemical synthesis of DNA and RNA, making it possible to decode and encode genes and genomes.

In the cells of palm trees, humans, and some single-celled microorganisms, DNA gets bent the same way. Now, by studying the 3-D structure of proteins bound to DNA in microbes called Archaea, ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder and Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) researchers have turned up surprising similarities to DNA packing in more complicated organisms.
