A sustainable food system for a growing global population requires a more diversified and climate-neutral protein production.

The model calculations in the present study show that proteins are therefore preferably synthesized in the branched, tapering ...

Cyanobacteria began contributing oxygen to Earth's mostly noxious atmosphere more than 2 billion years ago. The photosystem ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a new synthetic approach that turbocharges bacteria into producing more of a specific protein, even proteins that would normally destroy them, ...

This is an important and solid study that examines the role of TFAM, a protein that helps maintain mtDNA, in mtDNA mutator mice. The authors have demonstrated that TFAM's counteractive role in mtDNA ...

Getting enough protein daily is essential for your overall ... chemical reactions, hormone synthesis, and more. They’re all made up of tiny building blocks called amino acids.

This important study demonstrates the potential of synthetic gene circuits to detect and target aberrant RAS activity in cancer cell lines. The circuit design is novel and the evidence supporting the ...

There are many high-protein vegetables you can add to your diet. Protein is needed to build and maintain healthy muscles, bones, and skin. Animal products are not the only high-protein food ...

Once confined to sportsmen and women, high-protein diets are now commonplace – with Paleo, Atkins, Zone and Dukan advocating that people eat large quantities of fish, meat, eggs, nuts and cheese ...

Eutrophication is a leading cause of impairment of many freshwater and coastal marine ecosystems in the world. Why should we worry about eutrophication and how is this problem managed ...

Protein design (or protein engineering) is a technique by which proteins with enhanced or novel functional properties are created. Proteins can be engineered by rational design, which typically ...
