In nature, there are animals that make fibers which are strong and elastic. For example, the thread that spiders produce to make webs. These fibers have a polypeptide structure and serve as ...

There are about as many performance supplements on the market as there are protein-packed foods in a WH editor’s fridge. (Hint: It’s a lot.) A biggie as of late? Amino acids, which are the building ...

Amino acids are molecules fundamental to living organisms because they combine to build proteins, the workhorses of the cell. One metabolic pathway that produces amino acids involves transamination, a ...
