In a study published in Science, researchers have resolved, for the first time, the high-resolution crystal structure of the ...

In a study published in Science on January 9, the teams of Jeremy Murray and ZHANG Yu from the Center for Excellence in ...

Researchers discover a unique genetic code in Antarctic archaea that encodes a rare amino acid, potentially advancing protein ...

A low-dose mix of zinc, serine, and branched-chain amino acids boosted neural function and social behavior in autism mouse models. The combination restored more typical synaptic protein patterns and ...

On Sept. 24, 2023, the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft swung past Earth to drop off precious cargo: 121.6 g of rocks and dust collected from the surface of the asteroid Bennu. Born from the rocky detritus of an ...

One of the most elegant theories about the origins of life on our planet is that it was kick-started by a delivery from outer space. This idea suggests that prebiotic molecules—the building blocks of ...

SKIN WOUND healing is a highly complex and dynamic process, progressing through overlapping phases of haemostasis, inflammation, proliferation and tissue remodelling. Any disruption in these stages ...

Amino acids have long been known to improve the stability and solubility of proteins. Amino acids might be added to insulin, for example, to maintain shelf-life and stop undesired chemical reactions ...

Amino acids are absolutely essential to our health—and for life itself. They are the so-called “building blocks” of proteins. They play a key role in the growth, repair, and maintenance of almost ...

They turned to the amino acid glutamine, because it is the most abundant amino acid in the blood. Glutamine is naturally synthesized in the body and can also be consumed from all animal protein ...

Researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara, unveiled a new modular way to combine three mix-and-matchable molecular pieces into new amino acid derivatives using an engineered enzyme ...

Let’s be honest. The world of skincare can feel like a minefield, especially when you have melanin-rich skin and the risk of irritation, dark spots, and scarring are real. For Black women, chemical ...
