amino acids

Building blocks of life discovered in Bennu asteroid rewrite origin story: According to the researchers some amino acids, the building blocks for life, in the asteroid Bennu samples likely formed in a different way than was previously thought, in the harsh conditions of the early solar system.

Researchers developed a new method that uses light to transform amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, into molecules that are similar in structure to psychedelics and mimic their action the brain. The research opens a new pathway for drug discovery to treat a host of brain disorders
