Glycine is considered to be not essential to the human diet. The body can synthesize this amino acid from the amino acid serine. However, the metabolic capacity for glycine biosynthesis does not satisfy the need for collagen synthesis in several organisms. In the liver of some of them at the...
In addition to their photosynthetic capabilities, key biochemical pathways such as the de novo synthesis of fatty acids12, isoprenoid synthesis13, and critical steps of nitrogen assimilation14 , including several pathways for amino acid biosynthesis (Fig. 1) occur in plastids of angiosperms. Nitrogen...
Guoyao Wu of Texas A&M University are proud to present an open access forum for publication of scientifically valuable manuscripts in the fields of Amino Acid, Peptide and Protein Research. Linked to the existing Springer subscription journal Amino Acids, the Amino Acids Article Collection provides ...
All these BMAA-regulated proteins were proteins known to have a regulatory function in glutamate receptor activity/recycling, ER stress, protein biosynthesis, ROS, autophagy or neuronal cell death, thereby giving further insight into cell signaling pathways leading to previously observed BMAA-induced ...

Untargeted metabolomics profiling based on GC×GC-TOF/MS and UPLC-Q-TOF/MS and in addition some targeted amino acid and catechins by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) were used to investigate the change of metabolites in mature leaves, roots, and young shoots of tea plants to P ...
Generally, MAAs biosynthetic pathways are not specific for each species and depend on the several abiotic conditions, which stimulate their course [62–64]. MAAs biosynthesis is regulated in particular by the spectral distribution and intensity of solar radiation [39]. Blue light in the ...
1. Introduction The non-proteinogenic amino acid β-methyl-amino-L-alanine (BMAA), was first identified from the seeds of Cycas trees on the island of Guam in the Pacific Ocean linked as a causative agent to the high incidence of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/parkinsonism-dementia complex (ALS...
