Scientists invented chemical weapons; some are now working to destroy them. New biomolecular design techniques let researchers design proteins that can destroy nerve agents in bodies.
Australian researchers have discovered how a blood clot-busting enzyme is activated, unlocking a century-old atomic riddle that could lead to new treatments for clotting and bleeding disorders, and some…
