Chemists say they have solved a crucial problem in a theory of life’s beginnings, by demonstrating that RNA molecules can link short chains of amino acids together. The findings, published on 11 May ...

Using nanopore DNA sequencing technology, researchers have managed to scan a single protein: by slowly moving a linearized protein through a tiny nanopore, one amino acid at the time, the researchers ...

Researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara, unveiled a new modular way to combine three mix-and-matchable molecular pieces into new amino acid derivatives using an engineered enzyme ...
