Ozempic has been making headlines for its remarkable success in treating obesity and diabetes. Yet it is just one in a ...
Researchers are building out the repertoire of chemical reactions, using light. They report a method using photobiocatalysis to produce non-canonical (not naturally occurring) amino acids that are ...
Researchers have developed an unnatural amino acid that can be incorporated into existing proteins to create new fluorescent proteins, which will be valuable in the study of protein–substrate ...
The molecular machines that cells use to build proteins are backed by a billion years of evolution. In that time, these machines—ribosomes—have become exceptionally good at forging amide bonds between ...

New chemistry hints the first genetic code wasn’t built from the same 20 amino acids
The traditional explanation of the initial genetic code in life seems less established when ancient proteins seem to be recalling some other arrangement of amino-acids. A recent examination of protein ...
Sermorelin, a synthetic peptide composed of the first 29 amino acids of the endogenous growth-hormone–releasing hormone (GHRH), has long captured scientific curiosity for its structural precision and ...

AI breakthrough could dramatically lower the cost of drug development
Three-letter DNA “words” can decide whether a yeast cell cranks out a medicine efficiently or sputters along. The words are ...
