Twenty canonical amino acids exist in nature, encoded by the universal genetic code and translated by the proteins and RNA that make up the ribosomal machinery. Expansion of the genetic code to new ...

For millennia, aging has been viewed as an immutable, inevitable decline. However, a scientific revolution is underway, ...

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at KU chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus. I always knew I would need to memorize the amino acids and their properties, ...

Amino acids have long been known to improve the stability and solubility of proteins. Amino acids might be added to insulin, for example, to maintain shelf-life and stop undesired chemical reactions ...

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 ...
