Preprint reports natural enzymes for a key FDCA production step

A bioRxiv preprint describes four rounds of computational screening that identified natural hydroxymethylfurfural oxidases with improved activity on a key FDCA-production reaction. Some candidates approached an engineered benchmark under the tested conditions.

Anthropic says Claude identified a new bacteriophage enzyme system

Anthropic says Claude agents identified a previously uncharacterised system in bacteriophages, built around a reverse transcriptase and an array of DNA repeats. Early lab experiments found that the array is expressed as distinct short RNAs; the system’s function is still under investigation.

Anthropic says Claude agents found a new phage enzyme system

Anthropic says Claude agents identified a previously uncharacterized enzyme system in bacteriophages, built around a known reverse transcriptase and an array of DNA repeats. Early laboratory experiments found that the array is expressed as distinct short RNAs, but the system’s function is still being investigated.
