Life on Earth is complex and varied, but every living organism on the planet builds its proteins from the same set of 20 amino acids. All proteins in a human body, for example, are made up of some ...

Using quantum chemical methods, a team of researchers led by Dr. Matthias Granold and Professor Bernd Moosmann of the Institute of Pathobiochemistry at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz solved one ...

Serine? So last century. Valine? Over it. Glycine? You’ve got to be kidding me. Those chemicals are part of the 20 amino acids that are typically incorporated into proteins. That means they have a ...

Although the myriad proteins found in all life are largely built from a set of 20 amino acids, many other amino acids exist in nature, and it remains a curiosity as to why some were ultimately ...

Grab-and-go missions to asteroids have provided some of the most scientifically valuable samples since the Apollo ...

Researchers discover a unique genetic code in Antarctic archaea that encodes a rare amino acid, potentially advancing protein ...

There are currently 22 amino acids determined as protein building blocks. Moreover, researchers have discovered roughly 250 non-proteinogenic naturally occurring amino acids. Meteorites and comets ...

Family resolutions have been made, and plans are being made to have success in achieving those goals. A large majority of resolutions are related to weight loss and dieting. It ...
