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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
