The peptide synthesis market is a rapidly evolving segment of the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, playing a pivotal role in drug development, diagnostics, and research. Peptides, which ...

Acyl carrier protein (ACP) plays a central role in fatty acid biosynthesis, acting as a molecular "shuttle" that carries, ...

SOKENDAI and Kyushu University have uncovered the molecular mechanism that drives the "ticking" of the circadian clock in ...

For a long time, scientists depended on luck to find new proteins. In 1840, for example, Friedrich Ludwig Hünefeld, a German ...

How Arq’s powdered activated carbons (PACs) effectively remove micropollutants and meet the EU’s elimination requirement.

Researchers have long known that glycosaminoglycan-binding proteins (HBPs) help control vital processes like cell growth, ...

The potentials of mean force of 21 heterodimers of the molecules modeling hydrophobic amino acid side chains: ethane (for alanine), propane (for proline), isobutane (for valine), isopentane (for ...

To examine the relationship between the physicochemical properties of the peptide and its biological activity, we have synthesized variants of protegrin-1 in which key residues in the hydrophobic core ...

As methionine is the only precursor of cysteine in a cysteine-free diet, and cysteine is one of the three amino acids comprising glutathione, MR might logically be expected to reduce, rather than ...

Figure 1. Catabolic pathways of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and downstream signaling initiated by catabolites (for explanation, see BCAA Catabolism section). 4E-BP1 indicates eukaryotic ...
