This study investigates how pulsed electric fields affect proteins in bulk solution, showing that pH changes, not direct field-protein interactions, cause persistent structural and functional changes in tubulin.

The paper shows that peptides made from non-standard amino acids can form protein-like secondary structures, expanding the known sequence-structure space beyond Earth's 20 amino acids.

This study shows random 25-mer peptides with a prebiotically plausible amino acid alphabet can self-assemble into thermostable beta-rich nanostructures.

The paper designs ancient proteins using a limited amino acid set and shows they are stable and mutation-resilient.

The paper identifies and isolates novel capsaicinoids from chilis, showing structural variations significantly impact TRPV1 activation and demonstrating non-pungent compounds modulate capsaicin's effects.
