Did you ever take a swig of aspartame-sweetened diet soda and have it taste nasty? Sour, metallic, and vile, but not sweet.

Credit: COURTESY OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Frederick Sanger presented the first complete amino acid sequence of a protein (insulin) after 12 years of painstaking biochemistry involving partial ...

New research uses AI to engineer enzymes with intricate active sites, expanding the possibilities for synthetic biocatalysts.

We would also like to explore the utility of our methodology on the hydrolysis of other polysaccharides as well as in proteins for the production of amino acids and peptides," concludes Tsubaki.

THE weakest point in the DNP-method 1 is the destruction of the N-terminal DNP-amino-acid which occurs under the conditions of hydrolysis necessary to detach it from the protein. The optimum time ...

Proteases are enzymes that catalyse hydrolysis of the peptide and isopeptide bonds that join amino acids within proteins (known as proteolysis). Proteases can also remove protein post ...
