This study simulated different factors of subduction zones to allow researchers to further determine which processes contribute to gold deposit formation. Simon detailed the experimental procedure ...

The tripeptide Leu-Pro-Lys (LPK), derived from the Sipunculus nudus protein, was synthesized and studied to investigate its potential protective effect on bone formation. The effect and mechanism of ...

A peptide bond is a chemical bond formed between two molecules when the carboxyl group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule, releasing a molecule of water (H2O). This ...

The process of “translation” in protein synthesis involves formation of a peptide bond between two amino acids that are attached to two distinct transfer RNAs (tRNAs). For long, scientists ...

The process of 'translation' in protein synthesis involves formation of a peptide bond between two amino acids that are attached to two distinct transfer RNAs (tRNAs). For long, scientists have ...

Understanding the interactions between the protein collagen and hydroxyapatite is of high importance for understanding biomineralization and bone formation. Here, we undertook a reductionist approach ...

Peptide bond formation is one of the key chemical transformations in the field of prebiotic chemistry. It is regarded that peptides played an important catalytic role in the formation of other ...

In this mini review, we describe typical mechanisms of the protease-instructed peptide assembly via bond-cleaving or bond-forming reactions, and outline biomedical applications of the peptide ...

Notably, these structures now allow us to perform a much more comprehensive structure-based assessment of the possible mechanisms for ribosome-catalyzed peptide-bond formation.
