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 ...

Synthetic peptides, generally less than 20 amino acids in length, are essential reagents for a wide range of studies and one of the fundamental tools of proteomics researchers. Applications include ...

Chemists from ETH Zurich have found a way to produce poorly soluble proteins by caging a uniquely reactive boron compound. This method opens up new possibilities for the synthesis of tailored protein ...

Fortunately, these giant rings are about to become a lot easier to access. Helma Wennemers and her team at ETH Zurich have ...

Lots of people are talking about peptides. But what are they? Here’s a quick primer on the health trend and what we know about peptides’ safety.

A team at ETH Zurich developed a new peptide-based organocatalyst that handles macrocycle formation from start to finish.

Many biological functions are regulated by the switching on and off of mechanisms triggered by the matching of a keyhole ...

The breakthrough could simplify the production of complex proteins used in cancer immunotherapy and other advanced medicines ...

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) ...
