Abstract: Why life encodes specific proteinogenic amino acids remains an unsolved problem, but a non-enzymatic synthesis that recapitulates biology’s universal strategy of stepwise N-to-C terminal peptide growth may hold the key to this selection. Lysine is… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT Poly(ε-L-lysine) and poly(L-diaminopropionic acid) are valuable homopoly (amino acids) with antimicrobial properties and mainly produced in submerged fermentation. In this study, we investigated their co-production using waste biomass and spent mushroom substrate in solid-state… read more here.
