COLUMBUS, Ohio – Two years ago, Ohio State University researchers surprised the scientific community by announcing their discovery of a 22nd genetically encoded amino acid. Now they have capped that ...
The nucleic acids of DNA encode genetic information, while the amino acids of proteins contain the code to turn that information into structures and functions. Together, they provide the two ...
The findings, which detail how amino acids shaped the genetic code of ancient microorganisms, shed light on the mystery of how life began on Earth. "You see the same amino acids in every organism, ...

Chemists have developed a protocol to rapidly produce protein chains up to 164 amino acids long. The flow-based technology could speed up drug development and allow scientists to design novel protein ...
In neonatal mammals, arginine is synthesized in the enterocyte, with either proline or glutamate as the dietary precursor. We have shown several times in piglets that proline is the only precursor to ...
A small rock sample collected from asteroid Bennu contains traces of tryptophan, a complex amino acid rarely found in space materials. This marks the first time tryptophan has been identified in an ...
