Current protein recommendations were established with the goal of preventing deficiency, but newer research indicates that many adults may benefit from eating more than the minimum requirement.

Fresh from taking first place in the Master's Super Heavyweight Division in the First World No Gi Championships, fast-rising Brazilian Jiu Jitsu fighter Jory Malone takes some time to talk about his conditioning, his teaching, and his favorite new super-anabolic protein snack, the Supreme Protein bar.

Staying on top of your game throughout eleven long years in the NFL is a remarkable achievement for any player. Especially at wide receiver, where the fleet, nimble and youthful tend to enjoy a distinct advantage. Achieving statistical career bests in your eleventh year, however, is virtually unprecedented. While Ike Hilliard's astonishing late-career resurgence has caught many of his NFL peers and fans by surprise, the Tampa Bay Buccaneer flanker just takes it all in stride.

Even small mistakes made by cells during protein production can have profound disease effects, but the processes cells use to correct mistakes have been challenging to decipher. Recent work by scientists at The Scripps Research Institute, however, has uncovered two surprising new methods for such editing.

The Stowers Institute’s Hawley Lab has identified a pair of proteins that work in concert to restart the meiotic cycle of oocytes following a natural period of dormancy.

Two proteins that are implicated in autism have been found to control the strength and balance of nerve-cell connections, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found.

Nature, through the trial and error of evolution, has discovered a vast diversity of life from what can only presumed to have been a primordial pool of building blocks. Inspired by this success, a new Biodesign Institute research team, led by John Chaput, is now trying to mimic the process of Darwinian evolution in the laboratory by evolving new proteins from scratch.
