The scientists argue that the current model overemphasizes how often an amino acid appeared in an early life form, leading to a theory that the amino acid found in the highest saturation must have ...

The loss of muscle mass and strength poses an increasingly significant challenge for an aging society. Prof. Kristina ...

We also evaluated how mutating individual amino acids could change the interaction.” Researchers have deployed a number of computational methods to examine the spike-ACE2 interaction. The ab initio ...

Amino acids are small molecules that are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins serve as structural support inside the cell and they perform many vital chemical reactions. Each protein is a ...

This study shows that the SAAR diet regulates glucose and lipid metabolism to support weight control without impacting ...

NASA’s OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer) mission has detected amino acids in the largest asteroid sample ever collected in space, ...

Associate Professor Konstantinos Vogiatzis’ lab at UT is using computational chemistry to address excess atmospheric CO2.

this mouse could be a useful model to study these diseases. Are MCBAs a positive or negative influence on the gut? They may be both, and it may depend on the amino acid. A diverse complement of ...

Research at IIT-Madras shows how peptides can control hypertension, potentially leading to new treatments for high blood pressure.

A new strategy for recycling spent lithium-ion batteries is based on a hydrometallurgical process in neutral solution. This allows for the extraction of lithium and other valuable metals in an ...
