Cyclic amino acids are a class of amino acids that contain a cyclic structure in their side chain. These amino acids typically have a different structure compared to the standard amino acids found in proteins.   One example of a cyclic amino acid is proline, which has a five-membered ring structure in its side chain. Proline is unique because its cyclic structure limits the...

What is strain development in microbiology?   Strain development in microbiology refers to the process of modifying microorganisms to enhance their desired traits for various applications. This involves genetic manipulation techniques to introduce specific genetic changes in the microbial genome.   The main objectives of strain development are to improve the production of...

Bioorthogonal reactions, which allow for the efficient and selective labeling of biomolecules in living cells and organisms, are chemical processes that can take place in complex biological systems without interfering with the natural biochemical processes and without significantly toxicating or perturbing the biological system. In the domains of biomedical imaging, pharmaceutical chemistry,...
