Latest Amino acid Stories
The Biology and Health Website EurekaMag.com publishes insights into all areas of biological science. The latest insights cover animal cells, which are eukaryotic cells containing complex structures enclosed within membranes, and ideal protein, which is a commercial diet developed by a medical doctor 25 years ago. The insight into MOA covers "Mode of Action," which has a number of different meanings within the biological sciences. Mannheim, Germany (PRWEB) January 06, 2012 The...
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Jan. 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- When most people hear the word "LIVEADE," they think of the 1985 rock concert held to raise funds to combat Ethiopia's famine. In the same spirit as the Live Aid concert, homeopathic expert Betty Mitchell has created LIVEADE (http://liveade.com/), a metabolic powder formulated to fight endemic diseases in developed and developing countries. LIVEADE contains moringa oleifera powder, considered the world's most nutritious herb by the...
A protein's function depends on both the chains of molecules it is made of and the way those chains are folded. And while figuring out the former is relatively easy, the latter represents a huge challenge with serious implications because many diseases are the result of misfolded proteins. Now, a team of chemists at the University of Pennsylvania has devised a way to watch proteins fold in "real-time," which could lead to a better understanding of protein folding and misfolding in general....
Premium, fast absorbing amino acid supplement is now being offered by all natural nutritional company, True Healthy Products (PRWEB) November 12, 2011 True Healthy Products, a natural nutrition company based out of Florida has added a new high performance amino acid supplement to their line of products called “Gold Medal Aminosâ€. This product is endorsed by Olympic Gold Medalist, Dara Torres and contains specific free form amino acids which can more readily be absorbed into...
Research provides insight into novel approach which could be used in pharmaceutical drug synthesis New research shows how metal surfaces that lack mirror symmetry could provide a novel approach towards manufacturing pharmaceuticals. These 'intrinsically chiral' metal surfaces offer potential new ways to control chiral chemistry, pointing to the intriguing possibility of using heterogeneous catalysis in drug synthesis. Such surfaces could also become the basis of new biosensor...
People generally exercise to lose fat or build up muscle but it is an unfortunate consequence of hard training that muscle is often lost. To counter this effect, people may elect to take various dietary supplements – legal or otherwise. But what can legally be done to help train sport horses? Recent work at the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna has shown that a special mixture of amino acids and proteins is able to prevent muscle breakdown in horses following exercise. The...
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Sutro Biopharma, a biopharmaceutical company developing novel and biosuperior protein therapeutics with improved pharmaceutical properties, today announced that the company's proprietary biochemical protein synthesis technology platform for the synthesis and manufacturing of novel protein therapeutics will be presented at the BioProduction 2011 conference in Berlin. Trevor Hallam, Ph.D., chief scientific officer of Sutro, will present the...
Scientists are reporting development of the first fast and reliable scientific method to determine the age and authenticity of priceless silk tapestries and other treasures -- such as Civil War General Phillip Sheridan's famous red-and-white battle flag -- in museums and other collections around the world. A report on their work appears in ACS' journal Analytical Chemistry. Mehdi Moini and colleagues at the Smithsonian Institution point out that for thousands of years, silk fibers,...
(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Malfunctioning machines can cause a slew of problems, but when those machines are cells and genes, the result is often cancer. Scientists have identified a new protein that is crucial to the cell's response to dietary amino acids. One particular piece of cellular machinery known to malfunction in a number of cancers is a group of proteins called mTORC1. This group is like a master control center coordinating many cellular functions by sensing external signals, such...
Sanford-Burnham scientists identify a crucial new component of the machinery cells use to sense dietary amino acids—a mechanism that malfunctions in cancer In cancer, genes turn on and off at the wrong times, proteins aren't folded properly, and cellular growth and proliferation get out of control. Even a cancer cell's metabolism goes haywire, as it loses the ability to appropriately sense nutrients and use them to generate energy. One particular piece of cellular machinery that is known...
