The emergence of life on Earth has long been studied as a question of molecular reactions generating the building blocks of life such as peptides, lipids and nucleic acids 1. Plausible pathways ...

In a recent study published in the journal PNAS, researchers from Finland and the United States reported a novel heptad repeat 2 (HR2) peptide that inhibited severe acute respiratory syndrome ...

Peptides are short chains of amino acids — mini-proteins — that occur naturally in the human body. They can also be used in medications, several of which are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug ...

(Nanowerk News) Peptides are short strands of amino acids that are increasingly used therapeutically, as biomaterials and as chemical and biological probes. The capacity to isolate, manipulate and ...

The study, led by Rein Ulijn, founding director of the CUNY ASRC Nanoscience Initiative and distinguished professor of chemistry at Hunter College, demonstrates how short peptides—just three amino ...
