A rendering of an enzyme known as isocyanide hydratase, which accelerates chemical reactions that neutralize a toxic molecule in certain bacteria. Researchers from Nebraska, Stanford, Puerto Rico and Germany used record-intense X-rays to capture dynamics of isocyanide hydratase that were previously only hypothesized, a feat that could point the way to doing the same with other enzymes.

Jay Storz stands on the Tibetan Plateau, more than 15,000 feet above sea level. Storz and his colleagues have shown that many high-altitude bird species underwent different mutations to develop the same adaptation: hemoglobin better at capturing and distributing scarce oxygen.
