1 Of Tangerines, Asparagus, and Nonprotein Biomolecules

2 In order to fully understand biology and biological processes on all levels, we have to step outside of the beaten path of looking at genes and proteins and dive into the analysis of other biomolecules at the same resolution and with the same sophistication. Click-EM appears to be the strategy that will enable us to do so. Cell Chemical Biology  , DOI: ( /j.chembiol ) Copyright © Terms and Conditions

3 “Eat more citrus fruit” is advice that we all get at some point in our lives, but we are not usually instructed to consume more citrus peel. New work shows that a flavonoid compound originally isolated from tangerine peel, called nobiletin, can actually help with metabolic disorders due to problems with circadian clock regulation.

4 Asparagus is a rich source of asparagine, which explains the name
Asparagus is a rich source of asparagine, which explains the name. We have known for some time that an exogenous glutamine, an amino acid that our cells used to make asparagine, plays an important role in cancer cell metabolism. Now we have learned that asparagine wears multiple functional hats as well. Cell Chemical Biology  , DOI: ( /j.chembiol ) Copyright © Terms and Conditions
