That process led to the group discovering a lasso peptide that exhibited broad-spectrum antibiotic activity and was effective at killing both gram-positive and gram-negative pathogenic bacteria, along ...

This film creatively illustrates the process of protein synthesis through dance, symbolizing the assembly of amino acids into proteins. It explains how genes encode instructions for amino acid ...

A child with a rare genetic disorder — spinal muscular atrophy type I — was treated prenatally for the first time. Courtesy of Jakob Owens  via Unsplash During an amniocentesis test, a long, thin ...

Since the aggregation tendency and protein stability of the (V→T)GluTR variant were only slightly improved, it is not excluded that further strategic optimization of amino acid substitutions could ...

In living organisms, every protein—a type of biological polymer consisting of hundreds of amino acids—carries out specific ...

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

THURSDAY, March 20, 2025 (HealthDay News) -- Disruptions in amino acid and lipid metabolism may be biomarkers of tardive ...

A new study published in the journal Immunity reveals a mechanism that allows triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) to develop ...

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 ...

Mutants in a quite different gene, called a suppression gene, allow the chain-terminating triplet to be read as an amino-acid. Experiments have shown that this is caused by a mutated tRNA which ...

developed environmentally friendly substances called micelles—tiny molecular structures made from natural amino acids and coconut oil. These ball-shaped structures have two sides: one that mixes ...
