To ensure that protein production in our cells runs smoothly, the protein complex NAC slows down the rate of protein ...

A machine-learning model computationally breaks down how segments of amino acid chains determine a protein's function, which could help researchers design and test new proteins for drug development or ...

With a newly developed method that compares AI-generated protein sequences with naturally occurring ones, function- and structure-regulating amino acids can be determined much more precisely than ...

Mutations can occur on several levels, including genetic, but can also take the form of amino acid replacements during protein synthesis. Amino acid replacements can be deleterious, neutral, or ...

5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a naturally occurring amino acid and the essential precursors of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) an important neurotransmitter for mood regulation, memory, learning, and ...
