The resultant peptides, generally short oligomers of two to perhaps 48 residues, are not genome-encoded. Where ribosomal translation is limited to the standard complement of 20 L-amino acids, ...

Each protein or peptide consists of a linear sequence of amino acids. The protein primary structure conventionally begins at the amino-terminal (N) end and continues until the carboxyl-terminal (C ...

A team of scientists from France and Austria 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 ...
