Lithium-ion batteries power our daily lives, from smartphones to electric cars. However, as demand grows, so does the problem of e-waste. Discarded batteries release toxic chemicals that contaminate ...

Amino acids reduce symptoms of alcohol abuse, intoxication and withdrawal Amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, are often deficient in alcoholics because of chronic malnutrition and ...

Alongside the classical 20 protein amino acids, which are used to build proteins, there are more than 1000 non-protein amino acids in nature. Occasional mistakes can mean these non-protein amino acids ...

Proteins are the molecular machines that make all living things hum. They stop deadly infections, heal cells, capture energy from the sun and so much more. Proteins are built by stringing together ...

NASA has confirmed that dust from the ancient asteroid Bennu contains tryptophan, an amino acid tied both to human mood and ...

A big question in the origin of life on Earth is why it is based solely on "left-handed" amino acids. Studies on asteroid Bennu's chemical building blocks deepens the mystery. Credit: Christoph ...

LifeTracer is not a universal life detector. Rather, it provides a foundation for interpreting complex organic mixtures. The Bennu findings remind us that life-friendly chemistry may be widespread ...
