Scientists are using cell-free transcription and translation systems to synthesize proteins, design biology-based sensors and ...

Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently explained the role of a molecular complex that orchestrates the production of proteins in our cells. They now show that this complex also controls the processing of ...

The number on the label counts nitrogen. Your muscles count leucine, essential amino acids, and how much you absorb. Here is why 20 grams of collagen and 20 grams of whey are not the same meal.

Is it true that "one drink after a workout is no problem"?There is an RCT (Parr 2014) showing that consuming alcohol ...

A newly developed luciferase-based reporter can detect problems in protein translocation and disulfide bond formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Inspired by natural mechanisms found in ...

An eight-week study comparing protein pacing with standard calorie restriction reported greater abdominal and visceral fat loss and a higher percentage of fat-free mass in the pacing group, ...

Rapid weight loss on GLP-1 medications can lead to muscle wasting. Here is the science-backed guide to the best protein shakes, powders and strategies to stay strong on weight loss medications.

A new PLOS Pathogens study shows that the interferon-induced GTPase GBP7 unexpectedly promotes HSV-1 infection by activating ...

Hello. This is Kito. I am still running every day. My wife might get angry at me, telling me to work more...! But aiming for ...

A new review examines how protein and specific amino acid restriction may affect metabolism, cellular aging, and longevity, ...
