Living Chemistry Biologists understand better what chemists can bring to the table. And chemists understand better the questions that biologists really care about. This has led to a bigger impact of chemists on biological problems.   |

Virulence from the deep sea Life surrounding hydrothermal vents and hot springs in the deep sea relies on chemosynthetic bacteria. Now, genome sequences of two of these symbionts have revealed surprising similarities with common bacterial pathogens of humans, including Helicobacter and Campylobacter. |

Natural born chemists Organic chemists may not seem like a humble group. But we should be, because we are humiliated every hour of the day by what nature accomplishes through enzyme catalysis. |

A (chemical) potential theory of life's origin This theory says that life arose at hydrothermal vents, not merely because these provide heat and the ingredients for making complex organics but because they create sustained gradients of ion concentration. |

Protocells called thermal springs home The first 'protocells' may have arisen in puddles of liquid spewed onto the ancient Earth's surface by thermal springs rather than near deep sea hydrothermal vents. |

Revisiting the Lost City This discovery of this hydrothermal vent community has a wide range of implications, from Earth's methane cycles to the search for early life forms -- and life elsewhere in the universe. |

Enzyme nano-parcels sober up drunken mice Scientists in the US and China have invented a way to encapsulate teams of enzymes in a thin polymer shell. This enables the enzymes to carry out a series of sequential reactions within an enclosed space -- as happens in nature. |
