Water-based coupling of amino acids for sustainable solid-phase peptide synthesis

Solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) is a cornerstone technique in the development of peptides for pharmaceuticals, research, and biotechnology. Traditionally, SPPS relies on organic solvents and reagents that can pose environmental and health risks. Recent advancements have focused on making this process more sustainable, with water-based coupling of amino acids emerging as a promising alternative. Key […]

Amino-acid-transporter-mediated assembly of rhizosphere microbiota enhances soil organic nitrogen acquisition in rice

Researchers have discovered that a specific amino acid transporter in rice roots plays a crucial role in shaping the rhizosphere microbiota, which in turn improves the plant’s ability to acquire organic nitrogen from the soil. This finding offers new insights into sustainable agricultural practices and the potential to reduce reliance on synthetic nitrogen fertilizers. Key […]
