NASA scientists studying rocks from asteroid Bennu found a perplexing mix of amino acids that deepens a molecular mystery on Earth.

AMINO ACID SUPPLEMENTS offer a tempting promise: You can build more muscle just by stirring them into your smoothie, coffee, or water. That sounds way easier than searing salmon or grilling ...

Using a set of ribozymes and amino acid precursors in controlled laboratory conditions that simulated early Earth environments, the team found that some ribozymes could produce both types of amino ...

Scientists have long wondered why life exclusively uses left-handed amino acids, and a groundbreaking NASA study has just made this puzzle even more intriguing.

NASA researchers have been studying rock and dust brought back to Earth from the asteroid, Bennu. Those particles revealed what scientists call "the building blocks for life." ...

Amino acid supplements come in lots of different forms, including powders, capsules, liquids, and gummies.

A diagram of left-handed and right-handed versions of the amino acid isovaline, found in the Murchison meteorite. The mystery of why life uses molecules with specific orientations has deepened ...

NASA’s OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security-Regolith Explorer) mission has detected amino acids in the largest asteroid sample ever collected in space, ...

The exoplanet, a planet beyond our solar system, has been dubbed TWA 7b after NASA's James Webb Space Telescope captured evidence of it.

Hangovers are common during the holidays because Americans tend to drink double their usual amount of alcohol. One amino acid that's found in food and supplements may help.

L-Lysine, or lysine, is an amino acid - which are organic compounds that link together to form proteins. Lysine is considered an essential amino acid because the body needs it but can't produce it.
