Many biological molecules are chiral, meaning they exist in two forms that are mirror images of each other, like left and ...

Although synthetic biology labs have toyed with the possibility of building mirror bacteria, scientists have opted to ditch ...

L-tyrosine is an amino acid that's often used in supplements to improve cognitive function affected by stress. Supplements containing L-tyrosine supplements may also help treat phenylketonuria (PKU).

Chiral-structural-color materials with high-dimensional controllable channels, such as wavelength, amplitude, polarization, and phase, are the excellent candidates for high-capacity information ...

Other variables include the proportion of amino acids available in specific protein foods and the digestibility of individual amino acids. The USDA provides a calculator to help people work out ...

This property is particularly important in the pharmaceutical industry. More than half of all modern medicines are chiral. Since biomolecules such as amino acids, sugars, and proteins in our body all ...

More than half of all modern medicines are chiral. Since biomolecules such as amino acids, sugars and proteins in our body all have the same handedness, active pharmaceutical ingredients must also ...

To solve that problem, a team of German researchers at the Technical University in Berlin figured that, instead of having a robot looking for microbes, it would be easier and cheaper to make the ...

pharmaceuticals (e.g. β-blockers), unnatural β-amino acids, pesticides and chiral auxiliaries. 29-32 Additionally, β-amino alcohols have many applications as antibiotics, anti-bacterial drugs and, ...
