When NASA launched a spacecraft to an asteroid, scientists patiently waited for their chance to look at bits of the space ...

They successfully modified eGFP to carry three unconventional amino acids in its chain simultaneously. This finding reveals that multiple novel subunits with unique properties can be added to proteins ...

They are used in the production of pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, and food additives. Amino acids can also be modified or incorporated into peptides and proteins to create novel biomaterials ...

In a new peer reviewed analysis, scientists quantify amino acids before and after our “last universal common ancestor.” The last universal common ancestor is the single life form that branched ...

Lantibiotics, a modified chain of amino acids that is added to food to prevent the growth of bacteria, is used in beer, sausages cheeses and dipping sauces. It may interfere with microbial gut ...

Combing through scads of DNA, chemical structure, and functional data, researchers have created an AI-guided platform that ...

(Hint: It’s a lot.) A biggie as of late? Amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. The 11 amino acids our bodies synthesize are called “nonessential,” but we need nine others (k ...

A large proportion of the world soybean crop is genetically modified (GMO ... is high in protein and contains all the essential amino acids your body needs. It also provides fats, carbs, and ...

The building blocks of proteins are amino acids, which are small organic molecules that consist of an alpha (central) carbon atom linked to an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom ...

Proteins are biopolymers of amino acids (polypeptides), joined by peptide ... Newly synthesized proteins can be modified by post-translational modification, altering its protein folding, stability ...
