Scientists now wonder if these findings could help people improve their longevity and quality of life. Isoleucine is one of three branched-chain amino acids we use to build proteins in our bodies. It ...

Collagen is composed mainly of the amino acids glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline. These amino acids form three strands, which make up the triple-helix structure characteristic of collagen.

NON-enzymatic decarboxylation of α-amino-acids was tried many years ago by heating them above 200° C., often dissolved or dispersed in an inert solvent too. As the reactions are always exotherm ...
