The genetic information stored in DNA is “decoded” to form proteins via the process of translation. This involves the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids bound to transfer RNA (tRNA) ...
A team led by LMU chemist Oliver Trapp reports in Nature Communications. The formation of peptide bonds – the chemical bond between amino acids – in protein synthesis is one of the most important ...
Life may have first emerged in deep sea thermal vents or surface hot springs (Yellowstone National Park’s Grand Prismatic Spring is shown here). New research shows how high-energy thioesters could ...
MIT study explains why dinosaur collagen survived for millions of years. Collagen, a protein prevalent in bones and connective tissue, has been discovered in dinosaur fossils as old as 195 million ...
The process of 'translation' in protein synthesis involves formation of a peptide bond between two amino acids that are attached to two distinct transfer RNAs (tRNAs). For long, scientists have been ...
