The laminin-411 protein is vital for the formation of the myelin membrane by oligodendrocytes, report researchers from Japan.

Proteins are life's molecular workhorses, doing everything from turning sunlight into food to fighting viruses. They are ...

Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), a team of astronomers led by Abubakar Fadul from the Max ...

Some products, however, zero in on just the three branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs)—leucine, isoleucine, and valine—because of their potential role in muscle building and recovery.

The mysterious Oort cloud is the source of many of our solar system's comets, but astronomers still have no idea what it looks like. Now, new simulations may have given them a first glimpse.

A type of bacteria dubbed “Conan the Bacterium” can withstand radiation thousands of times stronger than what can kill a human. Now, scientists have figured out why.

Newly uncovered neolithic stone arrangements seem to support one scientist’s long-standing theory.

Discover the role of amino acids for muscle growth & how they impact protein synthesis, recovery, & performance. Learn which ones matter most!

"In a cell, it's positively charged and thus can form hydrogen bonds or other chemical interactions with, for example, the negatively charged DNA." However, CMT2 has a different amino acid -- valine.

However, CMT2 has a different amino acid — valine. “Valine is not charged, so it is unable to recognize the CHG context like CMT3.

In this work, we show that the distributions of atomic overlaps between backbone and side chain atoms in Ramachandran space are unique for amino acid residue mimetic structures alanine, valine, ...
