Science Codex Lu's team shows in the study that the import signal that flags proteins for the new pathway consists of two consecutive ARs that share one feature: each has a hydrophobic amino acid (one with chemical properties that repel water) that is located 13 ... and more »
Huffington Post While alfalfa is high in protein, proteins derived from plants don't contain all the amino acids your carnivorous dog or cat requires. That's why pets require meat-based nutrition -- the protein in animal tissue provides a complete amino acid profile ...
Eureka! Science News There are 64 codons, and all but three of these triplets encode actual amino acids -- the building blocks of protein. The remaining three are "stop codons," that bring the molecular machinery to a halt, terminating the translation of RNA into protein ... and more »
Phys.Org Taking a cue from enzymes, researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) placed the amino acid arginine at the periphery of a hydrogen-splitting catalyst that cleaves hydrogen into protons and electrons. The arginine's carboxylic acid ...
7thSpace Interactive (press release) The objective of this experiment was to determine the standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of amino acids (AA) in 3 sources of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) with different concentrations of fat. Twelve growing barrows (initial body ...
