A new study suggests that the irregular metabolism of branched-chain amino acids -- components of proteins found in many foods -- may be partially to blame for progression to type 2 diabetes. In the U ...

A machine-learning model computationally breaks down how segments of amino acid chains determine a protein's function, which could help researchers design and test new proteins for drug development or ...

These amino acids are grouped together because they are the only three amino acids to have a chain that branches off to one side. Like all amino acids, BCAAs are building blocks your body uses to make ...
