Synthetic biologists repurposed rarely used codons to install novel amino acids into proteins and expand the capabilities of protein engineering. Kamal is a freelance science journalist based in the ...

Erwin Chargaff's groundbreaking research, which showed that DNA base pairs had a complementary relationship, laid the foundation for James Watson's and Francis Crick's DNA model. When word spread that ...

Covariance analysis utilizes multiple sequence alignment to compute couplings between pairs of positions in a protein sequence. These couplings essentially represent frequencies of observing a certain ...

As important metabolic substrates, branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and fatty acids (FAs) participate in many significant physiological processes, such as mitochondrial biogenesis, energy metabolism ...
