Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in ...

The shikimate pathway is fundamental for the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids—tryptophan, tyrosine and phenylalanine—in plants, bacteria and fungi. This pathway, which is absent in mammals, has ...

Elongation, a crucial step in the translation process of protein synthesis, gets disrupted by amino acid sequences with an abundance of N-terminal aspartic and glutamic acid residues in eukaryotic ...

Several recent studies have shown that the concept of proteome constraint, i.e., the need for the cell to balance allocation of its proteome between different cellular processes, is essential for ...

Researchers from ETH Zurich have succeeded in introducing large quantities of unnatural amino acids into bacteria, enabling ...

Kyowa Hakko Bio Co., Ltd., a pioneer in amino acid fermentation and biotechnology, continues to lead the market with a wide ...

Amino acids are organic compounds that serve as the fundamental building blocks of proteins. They play a crucial role in the structure, function, and regulation of the body's tissues and organs. Amino ...

A subset of natural products, such as polyketides and nonribosomal peptides, is biosynthesized while tethered to a carrier peptide via a thioester linkage. Recently, we reported that the biosyntheses ...

A protein-heavy diet may increase cardiovascular disease risk by setting off an immune response that drives atherosclerotic plaque formation, new research suggests. When more than 22% of daily ...

The protein factories in our cells – so-called ribosomes – have a central task: during a process known as translation, amino acids are linked together ...
