Diversifying Europe's protein supply could cut emissions and reliance on imported feed

Broadening the range of proteins that Europe produces and consumes could strengthen food security, improve resilience, enhance competitiveness and reduce environmental pressures, according to a new European Environment Agency (EEA) report. The benefits depend on treating protein diversification as a deliberate, long-term strategy.

Video: How are we so good at folding proteins?

Proteins carry out almost every important function in our body, from copying our DNA to turning the food we eat into energy. These tiny "molecular machines" are first made by our cells as straight chains, like long pieces of string. Then, to work properly, each protein must fold into an intricate 3D shape.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: Scientists at #ETHZurich in #Switzerland turned leftover #proteins from #tofu and #cheese production into tiny beads that trap #CO2 from the #air.

The beads work at room temperature, can be reused many times, and when they eventually wear out they can become fertilizer or #biofuel – all while outperforming existing #carboncapture #technology.

Food Waste Becomes a Powerful Carbon Trap in Climate Breakthrough

Food waste may become a powerful climate tool thanks to tiny reusable beads that capture carbon directly from the air.

“Using machine learning to better include genetic variation when analyzing proteins.”

That’s what they asked for, to celebrate a doctoral thesis. This was a fun challenge.

I included an amino acid and one nasty bug at no extra cost. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Every amino acid shares a nearly identical chemical backbone. Bonded to a central alpha-carbon, it features: and Amino Group NH2, Carboxyl Group COOH, Hydrogen Atom H, Side Chain R-Group (i.e., Star-Group): This Star-Group dictates the specific properties, electrical charge, and shape of the amino acid. The star can be any number of different atoms. Linked together, they build the enzymes, muscles, tissues, and hormones your body needs to function. While over 500 amino acids exist in nature, humans rely on 20 specific amino acids, but if you’re not careful, you might get a cat.
