The structure and accompanying biochemistry reveal how arginine is specifically sensed by CASTOR1 and disrupts the interaction of CASTOR1 with GATOR2, triggering activation of mTORC1.

IN this monograph the authors have given a detailed account of the chemistry and physiology of the amino-acids, their preparation, determination and properties, and the part they play in ...

The question of how life could have emerged is one of the most long-standing mysteries in science. In a new study, the laboratory of LMU Professor Dieter Braun has uncovered an unexpected form of ...

Giulio Tesei et al. Self-association of a highly charged arginine-rich cell-penetrating peptide, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (2017). DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1712078114. Provided by ...

Arginine – one of 20 common amino acids ... The study was published in the journal Biochemistry. Jordana Thibado, a recent honors graduate of the U of A, was the study's lead author.

Amino Acids are organic compounds that make up proteins in your body. Explore foods rich in amino acids and how they contribute to muscle growth, metabolism & overall health.

Using quantum chemical methods, a team of researchers has solved one of the oldest puzzles of biochemistry. They uncovered why there are 20 amino acids that form the basis of all life today, even ...

Biochemists shed light on the evolution of our 20- amino acid toolbox. The genetic code of life depends mainly on 20 amino acids, which can be arranged in various combinations to form proteins. For ...

Researchers previously had coerced bacteria to take up extra amino acids from laboratory dishes and use them to make proteins (SN: 6/3/00, p. 360: Code Breakers).
