The world is in the middle of a peptide drug revolution. These short chains of amino acids—the building blocks of ...

"We used to think that only very simple molecules could be created in these clouds. But we have shown that this is clearly ...

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 ...

A team of researchers has just demonstrated that essential molecular chains, peptides, can form spontaneously on cosmic dust grains, meaning in space. This result changes our understanding of ...

Meteorites and comets likely carried simple amino acid chains to early Earth, which led to the creation of life, scientists confirmed in a series of experiments. It is widely thought that organisms on ...

Scientists have shown that the building blocks of proteins can form naturally in deep space. This means the raw ingredients for life may exist long before planets are formed.

mk2 Biotechnologies, Wacker, and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) are collaborating on a joint project targeting the development, large-scale production, and purification of antimicrobial ...
