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

The researchers designed short and simple dipeptides, mainly consisting of alternating amino acids with aromatic side groups, tyrosine (Y) and histidine (H) (Fig. 2). The former is hydrophobic residue ...

“ [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.

Amino acids are good candidates for studying rich physics in terms of complexity of their side chain. The observed systematic are argued and explained in terms of increasing complexity of side chain ...

From heart risk to muscle boost: new research unlocks the double-edged sword of red meat—here’s what you need to know to eat smart. Red Meat Amino Acids for Beginners: A Narrative Review ...

In these polypeptides, the aromatic amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine act as key “sticker” residues, driving the cohesion of dense phases. Recent studies on condensates suggest a hierarchy in ...
