In a pair of cross-appeals from the International Trade Commission, the Federal Circuit affirmed the Commission’s ruling that one of CJ CheilJedang Corp.’s engineered bacterial strains infringed ...

A significant portion of modern endocrine research involves Growth Hormone Secretagogues (GHS). These peptides are designed ...

A new mass spectrometry strategy makes it easier to sequence venom peptides, a diverse set of disulfide-rich natural products that are difficult to characterize. For example, the approximately 500 ...

Scientists have developed a way of finding optimal peptide sequences: using a machine-learning algorithm as a collaborator. The algorithm analyzes experimental data and offers suggestions on the next ...

This specific 1-29 sequence is often referred to as the "functional fragment" because it contains the essential binding domain required to activate GHRH receptors in the pituitary gland.

Protein production (translation) is a complex process involving machinery called ribosomes. How do cells counter ribosomal destabilization leading to premature termination of translation? Scientists ...

The World Health Organization estimates that antibiotic resistant infections kill more than a million people worldwide every year, so many researchers are actively looking for new ways to combat it.

The major storage protein, G1 globulin, of bean (cv. Tendergreen) seeds was subjected to limited proteolysis with trypsin, chymotrypsin, papain, proteinase K, and protease V8 and to cleavage with ...

Scientists and engineers have long been interested in synthesizing peptides — chains of amino acids responsible for conducting many functions within cells — to both mimic nature and to perform new ...
