I am starting to thread into the structural implication of #aminoacid changes across recent #evolution. Wandering how many methods like these are out there and how they can help us selecting those mutations with structural and functional implications. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2025.12.03.692053v1 #proteins #genomics #genomephenome #GWAS

Protein Variety and Complete Amino Acids πŸ₯—πŸ—

Understanding protein variety is crucial because muscles aren’t built from protein alone, they’re built from the building blocks of protein: amino acids.

πŸ₯© Different Proteins = Different Amino Acid Profiles

The pink #tansyaphid #Metopeurum #fuscoviride is native to Europe and prefers forming large #colonies on #tansy #Tanacetum #vulgare.This aphid is very attractive for #ants, as one aphid has a high #honeydew #production with in average 1 milligram of honeydew per hour. Authors M. K. Fischer et al. (2002) found the #aminoacid #concentration in honeydew increasing with #aphid age.

πŸ₯¦ Amino Acid Synergy: Beyond Protein Intake πŸ₯—

Muscle protein synthesis (MPS) depends on a full spectrum of essential amino acids (EAAs), not just a high protein intake.

Eating different protein-rich plant foods (whole #wheat bread, #beans) with incomplete #proteins at each meal, but which together provide complementary #aminoacid profiles over 24h, can be adequate to support #muscle protein synthesis: doi.org/10.1016/j.tj... #plantbased #protein #nutrition #diets

Understanding Protein Quality πŸ–πŸ₯¦

Muscle growth occurs when protein synthesis exceeds breakdown. High-quality proteins provide the essential amino acids (EAAs), especially leucine, to stimulate MPS effectively.

We identified protein domains in LUCA (#LastUniversalCommonAncestor). Their distinctive #AminoAcid usage reveals the order amino acids were added to the #GeneticCode, based mostly on size. Older proteins hint at earlier alternative codes. 1/15 https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2410311121 #astrobiology #phylostratigraphy #sulfur #metalloproteins
