Discover the key differences between amino acids and proteins, and learn when it's most beneficial to consume each to ...

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism—a novel genomically recoded organism ...

Scientists from NASA and other institutions who have been analyzing the Bennu asteroid sample that returned to Earth last ...

Missense mutations are genetic alterations arising from the substitution of a single base pair (bp) in an amino acid (aa) sequence with a different base pair, resulting in the translation of a ...

Scientists poring over a sample brought back from the asteroid Bennu have detected amino acids and complex mineral compounds, ...

Consuming one gram of omega-3 per day may slow down the rate of biological aging in humans, according to an analysis of data ...

Proteins are the workhorses that keep our cells running, and there are many thousands of types of proteins in our cells, each performing a specialized function. Researchers have long known that the ...

Proteins are biopolymers of amino acids (polypeptides), joined by peptide bonds, that are generated by ribosomes. The amino acid sequence, encoded by its gene, determines a protein’s structure ...

Here, we use a synthetic amphiphile to modulate the membrane mechanical properties of cell-derived vesicles and probe channel activation. Using precise membrane mechanical characterization approaches ...

MV Isle of Arran, a 41-year-old ship nicknamed the Auld Trooper, will be based at Oban and used as a second vessel on the Mull route. MV Glen Sannox finally came into scheduled service on Monday ...
