Amino acids are the fundamental building blocks of proteins and play central roles as intermediates in myriad metabolic pathways. In medical biochemistry, they are not only recognised for their ...
Proteins are the molecular machines that make all living things hum. They stop deadly infections, heal cells, capture energy from the sun and so much more. Proteins are built by stringing together ...
In a new peer reviewed analysis, scientists quantify amino acids before and after our “last universal common ancestor.” The last universal common ancestor is the single life form that branched into ...

Of the 20 essential amino acids, nine are actually essential. Of those nine, three are branch-chain amino acids (BCAAs). Leucine falls into both groups. All BCAAS are vital for building and repairing ...
Plant Physiology, Vol. 146, No. 3 (Mar., 2008), pp. 1028-1039 (12 pages) In Arabidopsis thaliana, transamination steps in the leucine biosynthetic and catabolic pathways and the methionine (Met) chain ...
Search “best supplements for women” and you’ll likely find a list dominated by vitamins and minerals. And while these micronutrients are critical, there’s another supplement category equally important ...
Protein intake is known to be vital for maintaining brain function in older individuals. Now, using a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease, researchers have shown that the intake of a specific set of ...
