Research in mice showed limited intakes of one particular essential amino acid can slow the impacts of aging and even lengthen their lifespan. Scientists now wonder if these findings could help people ...

Supplements of amino acids have gained growing popularity amongst athletes and fitness aficionados aiming to boost their performance and hasten recovery. Amino acids, the pivotal building elements ...

In certain conditions, genetic mutations can cause “typos” that change one codon to another, prompting a tRNA to add the wrong amino acid, and ultimately leading to proteins that are fully formed but ...

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 ...

“The quality of a protein source can be determined by the amount of protein it contains per 100g, the amount of essential amino acids in that protein and its digestibility,” Parada explains. “Plant ...

The genomes of species from bacteria to Drosophila show unique biases for particular synonymous codons—varying triplet base pairs that code for the same amino acids—but it has been unclear if such ...

Stop codons can sometimes be reinterpreted, allowing the cell to insert an amino acid rather than halting translation. This normally requires a specific signal in the mRNA that guides the ribosome ...

Synthetic biologists repurposed rarely used codons to install novel amino acids into proteins and expand the capabilities of protein engineering. Kamal is a freelance science journalist based in the ...
