Researchers in the Princeton University Department of Chemistry have discovered a new multi-step pathway through which bacteria found in the mammalian gut produce antimicrobial peptides. The newly identified biosynthetic pathway transforms…

In Alzheimer's disease, the degeneration of brain cells is linked to formation of toxic protein aggregates and deposits known as amyloid plaques. Similar processes play an important role also in type 2 diabetes. A research team under the…

Inside tiny cellular machines called ribosomes, chains of genetic material called messenger RNAs (mRNAs) are matched with the corresponding transfer RNAs (tRNAs) to create sequences of amino acids that exit the ribosome as proteins.…

For a while now, copper peptides have been the “it” ingredient in cosmetics. Despite not being as glamorous as gold and silver, copper has always been an important metal for the advancement of industry. We have used these metals in every…

Copper peptides are the “it-ingredient” in skincare for a while now. Copper- despite not being as attractive as gold and silver, has always been a vital metal in industrial development. From coins and jewellery to utensils and machines, we…

Using an innovative new technique, scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School and their collaborators have identified thousands of previously unknown DNA sequences in the human genome that code for microproteins and peptides potentially critical…

Soy sauce deepens the flavor of soup stocks, gives stir-fried rice its sweet-salty glaze and makes a plate of dumplings absolutely enjoyable. But what exactly makes this complex, salty, umami sauce so tasty? Now, researchers reporting in…
