IN this monograph the authors have given a detailed account of the chemistry and physiology of the amino-acids, their preparation, determination and properties, and the part they play in metabolism ...

Two new options for making designer proteins made news in 2001—both from labs at Scripps Research Institute. Since 2001, Schimmel and Schultz have taken different directions with unnatural amino acids ...

Among the endoproteases used for protein digestion, serine protease trypsin is the most common one, as it generates peptides that are highly amenable to MS analysis. Depending on the preceding ...

For years, protein has been hailed as the ultimate macronutrient for muscle growth and recovery. But emerging research suggests its impact goes far beyond building lean tissue. Scientists now ...

University of Toronto scientists are helping to answer one of the most important questions in biochemistry, one that has implications for treating neurodegenerative diseases: how do proteins fold into ...

The structure of a botulinum neurotoxin bound to a protein shield provides clues as to how the toxin survives the digestive tract, according to a new report (Science, DOI: 10.1126/science.1214270).
