The amino-acid sequences of survivin homologs in various species were aligned with ClustalW (http://align.genome.jp/). The sequence alignment showing the evolutionary ...

Two of the traits that set modern humans apart from non-human primates are taller stature and a higher basal metabolic rate. Researchers have identified a genetic variant that contributed to the ...

Amino acid sequence alignment between SteE (STM2585) and its putative homologues as generated by Clustal Omega. Conserved motifs within residues 95–116 of SteE are shown with shading. Known ...

In a new peer reviewed analysis, scientists quantify amino acids before and after our “last universal common ancestor.” The ...

This is where amino acids become important. Amino acids, the fundamental components of protein, are most abundant in protein-rich foods. There are around 20 amino acids, nine of which are ...

“Tranexamic acid is a synthetic derivative of the amino acid lysine.” Dr Tatyana informs Vogue. It’s not an acid in the conventional sense – it does not have exfoliating properties. But it does have ...

The protein part of whey is called whey protein. It’s a complete, high quality protein that contains all of the essential amino acids. In addition, it’s very digestible and absorbed from your ...

Choline helps convert the amino acid homocysteine to methionine. Therefore, a deficiency of choline can result in an accumulation of homocysteine in your blood. Choline is required to produce ...

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 ...

Gamma-aminobutyric acid; GSK3β, Glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta; HIF-1α, Hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha; IAPP, Islet amyloid polypeptide; IGF-1, Insulin-like growth factor 1; iNOS, Inducible nitric ...
