Feb. 27, 2023 — By simulating early Earth conditions in the lab, researchers have found that without specific amino acids, ancient proteins would not have known how to evolve into everything alive on the planet ...
Nov. 29, 2022 — The Wadden Sea is an extremely productive ecosystem whose food web is supported by benthic organisms, feeding on primary producers. Marine biogeochemists show where (part of) this exceptional ...
Feb. 10, 2021 — Chemical bonds within the eye-lens protein gamma-B crystallin hold the protein together and are therefore important for the function of the protein within the lens. Contrary to previous assumptions, ...
July 28, 2021 — A team has demonstrated that fermenting drinks fortified with pea and rice proteins yields the same quality of protein as casein, an animal protein found in ...
Apr. 20, 2022 — In experiments on mice, researchers show that non-essential amino acids act as appetite suppressants and promote the urge to move. Their research provides insight into the neural mechanism that ...
July 28, 2022 — The reaction generates amino acids and nucleic acids, the building blocks of proteins and ...
Apr. 5, 2023 — The amino acid abundances of two Ryugu particles were measured and compared with their rocky components. The results demonstrate the important role that water plays in the formation of amino acids on ...
Feb. 10, 2023 — A team of scientists has discovered a new abiotic pathway for the formation of peptide chains from amino acids -- a key chemical step in the origin of life. The current study provides strong evidence ...
Dec. 8, 2021 — Chemically analyzing sequential samples from the baleen of dead whales makes it possible to read not only the history of the diet, but also the migration route of the animals. In a new study, ...
May 23, 2023 — Researchers have engineered bacteria to synthesize an amino acid that contains a rare functional group that others have shown to have implications in the regulation of our immune system. The ...
