PREVIOUS observations in this laboratory concerning the content of free amino-acids in the silk gland of Bombyx mori seemed to indicate that silk alanine might be derived from phenylalanine. In order ...
The popularly reported energy storage mechanisms of potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) are based on alloy-, de-intercalation-, and conversion-type processes, which ...

A peptide bond is a chemical bond formed between two molecules when the carboxyl group of one molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule, releasing a molecule of water (H2O). This is a ...
Aliphatic acids—hydrocarbon chains with a carboxylic acid on one end—are everywhere. But unfortunately, they’re not much use to synthetic chemists. The saturated chain has only two carbon atoms that ...
Proteins are made of amino acid chains, or polypeptides. Amino acids have a basic backbone made of an amino group and a carboxyl group, and differ in their side-chains. These polypeptide chains of ...
