The Potential of a Protein Model Synthesized Absent of Methionine
Molecules, 2022 Methionine is an amino acid long thought to be essential, but only in the case of protein synthesis initiation. In more recent years, methionine has been found to play an important role in antioxidant defense, stability, and modulation of cell and ...
