The asymmetric synthesis of amino acids and their complexes has become a cornerstone of modern synthetic chemistry, offering elegant and efficient routes to chiral molecules with high enantiomeric ...

Proteins are the building blocks of life. These biomolecules comprise chains of amino acids that fold into precise shapes to ...

Proteins are critical components of organisms that are used and arranged in specific ways. Genes are translated into proteins, which are made of amino acids, by cellular machinery. Synthetic ...

Life runs on instructions you never see. Every cell reads DNA, turns that message into RNA, and then builds proteins that ...

New chemistry, new enzymology. With a new method that merges the best of two worlds — the unique and complementary activities of enzymes and small-molecule photochemistry — researchers at UC Santa ...

The transport of amino acids and other molecules across the cell's membrane plays a crucial role in the metabolism of cells and, therefore, in human health. Current research hints that cancer, cystic ...

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism — a novel genomically recoded organism (GRO) with one stop codon — using a cellular platform that they developed ...

Attaching amino acids to a hydrophobic organic molecule allows them to self-assemble into rare, knotted structures with ...

The world is in the middle of a peptide drug revolution. These short chains of amino acids—the building blocks of ...

The code of life is simple. Four genetic letters arranged in triplets—called codons—encode amino acids. These are the building blocks of proteins, the machinery that powers life. But the genetic code ...

According to SNS Insider, the global Unnatural Amino Acids Market was valued at US$ 2.16 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 5.03 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 11.15% over 2025-2032.
