LMB scientists reconstruct ‘Nature’s first enzyme’.
The origin of life is one of the great, unsolved mysteries of biology. In a quest to improve understanding of how life might have originally emerged, a group of LMB scientists have managed to construct an enzyme that can mimic how the first forms of life may have arisen and begun to evolve – before […]
Biologists create one of life’s first enzymes
“tC19Z, synthesised in Phil Holliger’s lab at LMB, could be a version of one of the first enzymes that ever existed on our planet – and a clue to how life itself got started.” More…

Hijacking protein quality control to regulate cellular communication.
When the first multicellular organisms evolved, their cells needed to communicate with each other to control their growth and development. Matthew Freeman’s group from the LMB’s Cell Biology Division, led by the postdoc Markus Zettl, has shown that one way they did this was to exploit much more ancient protein quality control machinery Matthew’s group […]
