In a groundbreaking analysis that could shift the landscape of biological understanding, researchers from the University of ...

These amino acids, obtained from the nutritional Biochemicals Corporation, were made up in pink capsules containing 100, 200 or 500 mg. The same capsules filled with lactose served as placebo.

Scientists are making a case for adjusting our understanding of how exactly genes first emerged. For a while, there’s been a consensus about the order in which the building-block amino acids ...

Kanazawa University, report in Small, on how short peptides self-assemble linearly on atomically-thick solid surfaces, such ...

The biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids is a vital metabolic process in plants that underpins both protein production and the generation of a myriad of specialised compounds. Central to this ...

Amino acid supplements have soared in popularity in recent years. Social-media influencers peddle them with promises that they’ll build muscle, enhance athletic performance, promote weight loss, boost ...

“A combination of 5% branched-chain amino acid with 5% Aromatic amino acids resulted in the lowest body weight, whereas [10% aromatic amino acid diet] had the lowest percentage of fat mass but ...

People born with this condition don’t make enough aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC). That’s an enzyme that helps your brain and nervous system work.

The aromatic amino acids (phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan), whilst all falling within other classifications, possess aromatic side chains. Consequently, to different degrees, they all absorb ...

“[A]biotic synthesis of aromatic amino acids might be possible in the water–rock interface of Enceladus’s subsurface ocean,” the scientists explain. That’s only as far as Saturn.
