When proteins are made in a cell, they start out as strings of amino acids, which have to be folded into the correct, three-dimensional shape so they will function properly. Misfolded proteins can ...

By genetically modifying mice to not produce the amino acid cysteine, and feeding them a cysteine-free diet, rapid weight loss was achieved.

Amino acid transporters, specialized membrane proteins, facilitate the movement of amino acids across plasma membranes and between various cells and organ compartments. The malfunction, absence, or ...

Impaired branched-chain amino acid catabolism inhibits vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 3 responsiveness and disrupts downstream Akt (protein kinase B) activation and glucose utilization in ...

VantAI today unveiled Neo-1, the world’s most advanced atomistic foundation model and the first to unify de novo molecular generation with multimodal structu ...

Amino acid assists in recycling rechargeable batteries Environmentally friendly and efficient: recycling lithium-ion batteries in neutral solution Date: March 11, 2025 Source: Wiley Summary: A new ...

This work introduces a flexible protein generation method for amino acid sequence generation with latent diffusion models and protein language models. The generation is conditioned on protein ...

Dysfunction of the main inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the underlying reason behind many neurological disorders including Alzheimer's and Huntington's diseases, autism ...

Herein, we develop amino acid features using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation results. Specifically, for a given amino acid, we perform MD simulation of its dipeptide to create features based on its ...

Collagen’s triple-helix structure, along with the various functional groups present on its amino acid backbone, create ample opportunities for interaction between dye and protein. If this interaction ...

Acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery is common worldwide, so amino acid treatment is health-saving.
