The simplest way to decipher the code would be to start with an mRNA molecule of known sequence, use it to direct the synthesis of a protein, and then determine the amino acid sequence of the ...

Today researchers know that proteins are long polymers made out of a set of twenty small constituents called amino acids (Figure 1). How are proteins made in the cell? The answer to this question ...

Starch and cellulose are polymers made from the glucose monomer. Proteins are polymers of the amino acids monomers. Lipids are made from two different molecules called fatty acids and glycerol.

A new study asked three questions about muscle protein synthesis in response to a nine-day diet and weight training regimen: ...

Proteins Proteins are condensation polymers, made of amino acid monomers and are hydrolysed by our bodies. Aldehydes and ketones are compounds with carbonyl groups that play an important role in ...

In a new study of people with long-term vegan diets, most ate an adequate amount of total daily protein, but a significant ...

Proteins form the structural and functional backbone of the cell, and any perturbation in their synthesis can disrupt normal ...

The primary structure of a protein is composed of different amino acids coming together ... the protein stabilization ability of a few polymers. However, their mechanism of action and the impact ...

In a new study of people with long-term vegan diets, most ate an adequate amount of total daily protein, but a significant proportion did not meet required levels of the amino acids lysine and leucine ...
