For years, ETH researchers have been investigating a molecular complex that plays a key role in protein synthesis. They have ...

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

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

AlphaFold didn't accelerate biology by running faster experiments. It changed the engineering assumptions behind protein ...

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

Pyruvate dictates redox balance and cell size, establishing metabolism as a dominant regulator of cellular fitness, unveiling new strategies to modulate cancer, regeneration, and diabetes.

Plant-based proteins can provide a rich source of amino acids to support muscle recovery after exercise in cold weather.

A microorganism has been discovered that breaks biology’s golden rule. This genetic twist could change everything.

Tryptophan, the essential amino acid behind the Thanksgiving myth that eating turkey can make you sleepy, has been found to exist on Bennu, a small asteroid that swings by our planet about every six ...

In a peer-reviewed analysis, scientists quantify amino acids before and after our “last universal common ancestor.” The last universal common ancestor (LUCA) is the single life form that branched into ...

For decades, amino acids have been added to medical formulations like insulin as stabilizers: these small molecules keep proteins (i.e. larger particles) from interacting in undesirable ways. And for ...
