Two new options for making designer proteins made news in 2001—both from labs at Scripps Research Institute. Since 2001, Schimmel and Schultz have taken different directions with unnatural amino acids ...

(Nanowerk News) After years of experimentation, researchers at the University of Arkansas have solved a complex, decades-old problem in membrane biochemistry. The consequence of their work will give ...

Amino acids are the fundamental building blocks of proteins and play central roles as intermediates in myriad metabolic pathways. In medical biochemistry, they are not only recognised for their ...

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. These molecules come together to form proteins. Your body uses them for many important functions, such as making hormones, building muscle, and ...

Biochemists shed light on the evolution of our 20- amino acid toolbox. The genetic code of life depends mainly on 20 amino acids, which can be arranged in various combinations to form proteins. For ...

Amino acids that were abundant since the prebiotic era are enriched in protein binding sites of the most ancient coenzymes, supporting the plausibility of an early coenzyme–peptide world.

If you recall, over the summer, BlackBerry held Jam Camps around the world for student developers to attend. There, they learnt how to create apps using all the developers tools provided by BlackBerry ...

Almost all organisms assemble proteins from the same 20 natural building blocks, known as amino acids. But now, in a feat of genetic engineering, researchers have for the first time constructed an ...

The question of how life could have emerged is one of the most long-standing mysteries in science. In a new study, the laboratory of LMU Professor Dieter Braun has uncovered an unexpected form of ...

Amino acids are compounds that combine to form proteins. Naturally found in our bodies, they’re often referred to as the “building blocks of life,” notes MedlinePlus. Amino acids are needed for the ...
