Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids, but ...

RIKEN researchers have discovered how right-handed molecules in our cells can give rise to cells that are not symmetrical ...

BENGALURU: Everyone has studied the irrational number π (pi) in school and wondered what is its use in modern day life. Researchers and experts have found the solution to it. Physicists from the ...

Physicists from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have found that pure mathematical formulae used to calculate the value of pi 100 years ago by Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan has ...

Most of us first hear about the irrational number π (pi) – rounded off as 3.14, with an infinite number of decimal digits – in school, where we learn about its use in the context of a circle. More ...

Tryptophan, the essential amino acid behind the Thanksgiving myth that eating turkey can make you sleepy, has been found to exist on Bennu, a small asteroid that swings by our planet about every six ...

For decades, amino acids have been added to medical formulations like insulin as stabilizers: these small molecules keep proteins (i.e. larger particles) from interacting in undesirable ways. And for ...

Researchers demonstrated how amino acids could spontaneously attach to RNA under early Earth-like conditions using thioesters, providing a long-sought clue to the origins of protein synthesis. This ...

Amino acids are absolutely essential to our health—and for life itself. They are the so-called “building blocks” of proteins. They play a key role in the growth, repair, and maintenance of almost ...
