However, the name l-Thr is used for one single enantiomer, (2S,3R)-2-amino-3-hydroxybutanoic acid. The second diastereomer (2S,3S), which is rarely present in nature, is called l-allo-Thr. Both Ser and Thr are commonly considered to be hydrophilic due to the hydrogen bonding capacity...

Glutamine (Gln) is a conditional EAA, which is not essential for normal cells but becomes crucial for tumor cells due to their heightened demand. It is the most abundant amino acid found in plasma, and the most rapidly consumed amino acid in tumor cells [11]. As an EAA in tumors, gluta...
Here’s a short video that describes the principle of the limiting amino acids. For example, the limiting amino acid in cereal grains and nuts is usually lysine, and the ones in legumes are usually methionine and cysteine. You can prevent the limiting effect of amino acids on protein ...
Aminosyn WITH ELECTROLYTES, Sulfite-Free, (a crystalline amino acid solution with electrolytes) infused with dextrose by peripheral vein infusion is indicated as a source of nitrogen in the nutritional support of patients with adequate stores of body fat, in whom, for short periods of time, oral...
Based on the information in this chapter, it is deduced that proline is unquestionably not the only amino acid accumulated by plants in response to different abiotic stresses, and that genomic resources and related pathways associated with the other amino acids must be characterized to further our...
Amino-acid sensing by the PATs may involve transport or signalling via a so-called 'transceptor' mechanism.4,13,17 Recent studies have identified an AAT in the related SLC38 family, SLC38A9, which also interacts on LELs with the mTORC1-regulatory machinery, potentially in response to ...
The 2-Amino-5-nitrothiazole, with the cas registry number 121-66-4, has the IUPAC name of 5-nitro-1,3-thiazol-2-amine. This is a kind of yellow crystal with little bitter taste, and it is stable chemcially but incompatible with strong acids, strong oxidizing agents, acid chlorides, ...
We next searched the literature for experimental methods which are able to approximate the helix propensities based on protein evolution, for example by thermodynamic destabilization of short α-helical peptides upon incorporation of the respective amino acid. Such methods in principle also work for non...
