New research from UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center has uncovered an evolutionary change that may explain why certain ...

Tridecanoic acid (C13) is a rare, odd-chain saturated fatty acid produced mainly by gut and rumen microbes, entering ...

Reducing our intake of a single amino acid called methionine, which we get from the food we eat, could help protect against ...

A study presented at the 41st Annual Meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) reveals ...

Kanazawa University, report in Small, on how short peptides self-assemble linearly on atomically-thick solid surfaces, such ...

Pure (Z)-enamines readily prepared from β-ketoesters and amides using (S)-phenylglycine amide were hydrogenated with very high diastereoselectivities (up to 200:1) using heterogeneous catalysis.

The researchers designed short and simple dipeptides, mainly consisting of alternating amino acids with aromatic side groups, tyrosine (Y) and histidine (H) (Fig. 2). The former is hydrophobic residue ...

We have studied the self-assembly process of a typical biocoordination polymer, Ag(I)/cysteine (Cys), with different chiralities of the amino acid. Self-assembly of Ag(I)/l-Cys leads to production of ...

Crystals that are perfectly symmetrical around a central point can nevertheless respond to light as if they were asymmetric, scientists have found. The discovery could lead to more sensitive measuring ...
