DNA Changes that Don’t Change Protein, Still Affect Function in Time

A change in the DNA sequence of a codon may not change the corresponding amino acid residue in the encoded protein because each residue can be encoded by several codons. This is called the Wobble ...

Modified bacterial transport system imports artificial amino acids for efficient designer protein creation

Researchers from ETH Zurich have succeeded in introducing large quantities of unnatural amino acids into bacteria, enabling ...

Nutrition fact of the day: How much protein do I need to consume in a day?
