BIOLOGICAL properties of proteins depend on the higher levels of their structure, determined by the primary structure. As has been shown by Fisher 1, the knowledge of the amino-acid composition ...

Researchers discover a unique genetic code in Antarctic archaea that encodes a rare amino acid, potentially advancing protein ...

DNA and RNA sequencing has become the new watchword for the biological researchers, as this tells them exactly what is going on at cellular level in health and disease. However, it is a partial ...

The body needs 20 different amino acids to maintain good health and normal functioning. People must obtain nine of these amino acids, called the essential amino acids, through food. Amino acids are ...

Often called the universal language, music may well represent life itself. Having studied a wide range of biomaterials, from amino-acids and viruses to spider-silk, Markus Buehler and Mario Milazzo ...
