Medically reviewed by Allison Herries, RDN L-tyrosine is an amino acid that's often used in supplements to improve cognitive ...
The present work was carried out, using phenylalanine labelled with carbon-14, to examine whether phenylalanine is a precursor of tyrosine.
During that same year, Marshall Nirenberg and Heinrich Matthaei began deciphering the genetic code, and they determined that the codon UUU specifically represented the amino acid phenylalanine.
This important study uses advanced computational methods to elucidate how environmental dielectric properties influence the interaction strengths of tyrosine and phenylalanine in biomolecular ...
