Nature uses 20 canonical amino acids as building blocks to make proteins, combining their sequences to create complex molecules that perform biological functions. But what happens with the sequences ...

In a unique marriage of synthetic biology and chemistry, researchers have used custom-made proteins to drive chemical reactions that produce cadmium sulfide quantum dots (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 2022, ...

Researchers at Princeton’s Department of Chemistry discovered the first known de novo protein that catalyzes, or drives, the synthesis of quantum dots Nature uses 20 canonical amino acids as building ...

For the first time in history, the production of semiconductor quantum dots has been achieved at room temperature using lab-designed proteins, Princeton chemists reported in a paper published in the ...

Quantum dots made from cadmium and selenium degrade in soil, unleashing toxic cadmium and selenium ions into their surroundings, a UB study has found. The research, accepted for publication in the ...
