How did scientists discover and unlock this amino acid code? Once the budding molecular biology community was convinced about the triplet code, the race to decode which triplets specified which ...

Zuckerkandl & Pauling (1965) likened the constant accumulation of amino acid substitutions over time to regular ‘ticks' of clocks, and stated that ‘there may exist a molecular evolutionary clock'.

This asymmetric esterification has proven highly effective when using catalysis by low molecular weight chiral catalysts derived from natural amino acids, specifically through the use of N ...
