Adenine is one of the four bases in DNA that make up the letters ATGC, adenine is the "A". The others are guanine, cytosine, and thymine. Adenine always pairs with thymine.

Metabolic engineering of cannabinoids – are we there yet?

There has recently been a surge in research into the biosynthetic pathways of cannabinoids and the potential for commercialized metabolic engineering.

New machine-learning approach discovers mechanism that helps antibiotics kill bacteria

Most antibiotics work by interfering with critical functions such as DNA replication or construction of the bacterial cell wall.

Delving into tumor's cellular lineage may offer clues for customized therapies

To explain a person's actions in the present, it sometimes helps to understand their past, including where they come from and how they were raised.

Molecule metabolite variations in breast milk may hold risk factors for childhood obesity

New research suggests the composition of breast milk in normal weight mothers differs from that of overweight mothers, and that variations in small molecule metabolites found in breast milk are possible risk factors for childhood obesity.

Tufts engineers develop new tool to identify metabolic signatures linked to disease

Metabolic changes in cells can occur at the earliest stages of disease. In most cases, knowledge of those signals is limited, since we usually detect disease only after it has done significant damage.

DNA sequencing method could aid development of anticancer drugs

DNA is small. Really, really, small. So, when researchers want to study the structure of a single-stranded DNA, they can't just pull out their microscopes: they have to get creative.

Lactate activates multiple genes that modulate neuronal activity

A genome-wide study led by Dean Pierre Magistretti sheds light on the mechanisms through which lactate regulates long-term memory formation and neuroprotection.

Researchers describe first case of patient affected by dysfunctions in SLC28 gene family

A research team has described the first case of a patient affected by dysfunctions in a nucleoside transporter of the SLC28 gene family, which brings a set of genes which were not related to human pathologies in the scientific bibliography so far.

Enzyme that breaks down amino acids plays key role in promoting cellular senescence

Permanently arrested cell growth is known as "cellular senescence", and the accumulation of senescent cells may be one cause of aging in our bodies. Japanese researchers have discovered that a certain enzyme in our bodies promotes cellular senescence by producing reactive oxygen species.

Yeast model may pave way for development of novel therapies for metabolic disorders

There are hundreds of metabolic disorders -- including phenylketonuria, tyrosinemia, maple syrup urine disease and homocystinuria.

Washington University scientists find an unknown route for cellular fuel delivery

Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have identified a previously unknown route for cellular fuel delivery, a finding that could shed light on the process of aging and the chronic diseases that often accompany it.

New portable optical imaging system brings diagnostic potential into operating room

A team of University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign researchers led by Professor Stephen Boppart has successfully visualized the tumor microenvironment of human breast tissue shortly after it was surgically removed from a patient in the operating room.
