a type of arthritis caused by excess uric acid in the blood. While high-purine foods like red meat and seafood are well-known contributors to elevated uric acid levels, some vegetables can also have a ...

Researchers have described proteins that they say are among the most ancient ever sequenced. Two teams, which analysed ...

By taking advantage of the cytotoxic effect of nitric oxide (NO) and PepT1 for molecule-targeted drug delivery, a series of amino acid/dipeptide diester prodrugs of NO-donating oleanolic acid ...

Reducing our intake of a single amino acid called methionine, which we get from the food we eat, could help protect against ...

Here we use cryogenic electron microscopy to determine the structure of TbAQP2 from Trypanosoma brucei, bound to either the substrate glycerol or to the sleeping sickness drugs, pentamidine or ...

Worried about protein and uric acid? Experts clarify the link. Purines, not all proteins, elevate uric acid. Red meat and ...

It contains certain compounds that may increase uric acid levels, which can contribute to joint stiffness and swelling, especially in people already sensitive to high-purine foods.

The cell NAD+/NADH ratio can constrain biomass synthesis and influence proliferation in nutrient-limited environments. However, which cell processes regulate the NAD+/NADH ratio is not known. Here, we ...

Peptides are amino acids that may have anti-aging effects in skin products, such as helping reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

Amino acid-capped gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are a promising tool for various applications, including therapeutics and diagnostics. Most often, amino acids are used to cap AuNPs synthesized with other ...
