Unapproved peptide drugs have become a trendy new hack among wellness influencers, fitness coaches and celebrities, pitched ...

DEAR DR. ROACH: Do omega-3 fatty acids thin your blood, and can you still take them while taking one low-dose aspirin a day? ...

Scientists have discovered how the amino acid leucine boosts the body’s energy production by protecting key mitochondrial ...

The Science Behind Complete Plant Proteins Research shows that while most plant proteins contain all essential amino acids, ...

Amino acids have long been known to improve the stability and solubility of proteins. Amino acids might be added to insulin, for example, to maintain shelf-life and stop undesired chemical reactions ...

For decades, amino acids have been added to medical formulations like insulin as stabilizers: these small molecules keep proteins (i.e. larger particles) from interacting in undesirable ways. And for ...

Researchers demonstrated how amino acids could spontaneously attach to RNA under early Earth-like conditions using thioesters, providing a long-sought clue to the origins of protein synthesis. This ...

Amino acids are absolutely essential to our health—and for life itself. They are the so-called “building blocks” of proteins. They play a key role in the growth, repair, and maintenance of almost ...

A series of heterocyclic compounds with a 4-thiazolidone nucleus and amino acyl moiety were synthesized by protection reaction of thiosemicarbazide using the symmetrical anhydride (Boc)2O and ...
