A designer version of the tau protein, developed by a team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers, maintains its ...

To ensure that protein production in our cells runs smoothly, the protein complex NAC slows down the rate of protein ...

A machine-learning model computationally breaks down how segments of amino acid chains determine a protein's function, which could help researchers design and test new proteins for drug development or ...

With a newly developed method that compares AI-generated protein sequences with naturally occurring ones, function- and structure-regulating amino acids can be determined much more precisely than ...

A New Brunswick biochemistry professor is using fish to better understand the impact that taurine — an amino acid — could ...

D-serine is a representative D-form amino acid and has crucial roles in mammals, but its role in non-mammals is unclear. Researchers from Japan recently uncovered a functional role of D-serine in a ...

Humans possess six forms of the protein actin, which perform essential functions in the body. Two in particular, ?-actin and ?-actin, are nearly identical, only differing by four amino acids. Yet ...

In mice, limited intakes of one specific essential amino acid can slow the effects of aging and even extend their lifespan, ...

Turkey is a lean source of protein that contains nutrients like selenium and B vitamins. It supports brain function, muscle growth, and immune health.

Plant Physiology, Vol. 146, No. 3 (Mar., 2008), pp. 1028-1039 (12 pages) In Arabidopsis thaliana, transamination steps in the leucine biosynthetic and catabolic pathways and the methionine (Met) chain ...
