They call it “#skeletal #editing” and they hope it will change their field – and our world.

Inspired in part by the revolutionary genome-editing technology #Crispr-#Cas9, Levin and Sarpong are among a handful of chemists developing new methods to #insert, #delete and #swap individual atoms within molecules.

The word “editing” evokes chemists altering atoms with pairs of nanoscopic tweezers, but that would be far from efficient. “If you wanted to make a mole,” Levin explains, referring to a unit of measurement used in chemistry, “you would have to take that pair of tweezers and do it 10^23 times.”

The Guardian‘Endless possibilities’: the chemists changing molecules atom by atomBy Ned Carter Miles

J'ai regardé un chouette #documentaire hier soir sur ces fameux "ciseaux génétiques" dont on a entendu parler récemment suite au prix #Nobel de chimie décerné aux chercheuses Emmanuelle #Charpentier et Jennifer #Doudna .

C'était une bonne occasion d'en apprendre un peu plus et de comprendre en quoi ça consistait.
Je l'ai trouvé passionnant et très bien réalisé ce petit documentaire. 🎥
