Collagen IV provides crucial structural support for cells and tissues, but it’s unstable at body temperature. Researchers now ...

Synthesis of terminal allenes via a copper-catalyzed decarboxylative coupling reaction was developed. Aryl alkynyl carboxylic acid, paraformaldehyde, and dicyclohexylamine were reacted with CuI (20 ...

Tridecanoic acid (C13) is a rare, odd-chain saturated fatty acid produced mainly by gut and rumen microbes, entering ...

Reducing our intake of a single amino acid called methionine, which we get from the food we eat, could help protect against ...

Explore the groundbreaking achievements in quantum as Kipu Quantum and IonQ solve a complex protein folding problem on ...

A series of new peptides (8−25) containing different unnatural amino acids of the adamantane type (1−6), was synthesized. Possible cytotoxic activity on human cervical adenocarcinoma (HeLa), larynx ...

Researchers at the universities of Amsterdam and Utrecht have observed the formation of nanocavities in montmorillonite clay ...

This is a valuable and rigorous study that addresses the question of what determines the spatial organization of endocytic zones at synapses. The authors use compelling approaches, in both Drosophila ...

This peptide (a chain of amino acids) has a tendency to clump together ... water-repellent ends of the peptide, which is known as the C-terminal region. Accordingly, the researchers hope that ...

"The scale at which we analyzed the amyloid peptides was unprecedented," said Ben Lehner of the Wellcome Sanger Institute.
