The biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids is a vital metabolic process in plants that underpins both protein production and the generation of a myriad of specialised compounds. Central to this ...

The shikimate pathway is fundamental for the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids—tryptophan, tyrosine and phenylalanine—in plants, bacteria and fungi. This pathway, which is absent in mammals ...

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

In a new peer reviewed analysis, scientists quantify amino acids before and after our “last universal common ancestor.” The last universal common ancestor is the single life form that branched into ...

Only 20% of Americans understand grilled meats' link to cancer, according to an American Institute for Cancer Research survey ...

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 ...

In a new peer reviewed analysis, scientists quantify amino acids before and after our “last universal common ancestor.” The last universal common ancestor is the single life form that branched ...

Researchers reveal how hydration shapes peptide assembly on 2D materials, offering new insights for bioelectronics and ...

Preserving traditional rice is not merely about cultural memory, it is a step toward ecological harmony, sustainable health, ...

The effects of hydrogen-bonding interactions with amino acids on the (N1) acidity of uracil are evaluated using (B3LYP) density functional theory. Many different binding arrangements of each amino ...

Between protein powder, amino acids, and creatine, there are a lot of performance supplements for athletes. Nutritionists explain which ones are backed by science.
