Amino acids in sandal (Santalum album L) with special reference tocis-4-hydroxy-l-proline andsym. homospermidine Sandal (Santalum album L) contains several interesting amino acids and amines which are not seen in other plants. This includescis-4-hydroxy-l-proline in free form in leaves, fl...
If cysteine is present in ample amounts the requirement for methionine will be minimal, but if cysteine is in short supply more methionine is needed. It should perhaps be pointed out that the ‘non-essential’ amino acids are just as important in metabolism as the ‘essential’ amino acids,...
L- and D-amino acids Every amino acid comes in two forms, a 'left-handed' (L) and a 'right-handed' (D) form. These two forms are identical in every respect except for the conformation of the subunits of which they are composed. That is to say, although chemically they contain the...
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein synthesis. They are structural elements and energy sources of cells necessary for normal cell growth, differentiation and function. Amino acid metabolism disorders have been linked with a number of pathological conditions, including metabolic diseases, cardio...
Amino acids are primary metabolites that, besides other functions, act as compatible solutes and play decisive roles in the cell life under various abiotic stresses. Although, proline has been vastly studied for its role as a compatible solute in mitigating abiotic stress effects in plants, other...
Water has many roles in the context of life on Earth, however throughout the universe, other liquids may be able to support the emergence of life. We looked at the ability of amino acids, peptides, a depsipeptide, and proteins to partition into a non-pol
(2008). Dietary amino acids fed in free form or as protein do differently affect amino acid absorption in a rat everted sac model. Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, 92, 529-537.Nolles JA, Peeters IGS, Bremer BI, Moorman R, Koopmanschap RE, et al. 2008. Dietary amino...
CFA as well. The commonly reported short-chain BCFA have been 4-methyloctanoic (MOA), 4-ethyloctanoic (EOA) and 4-methylnonanoic (MNA) acids because they are regarded as the main contributors to the ‘mutton aroma’ associated with cooked sheep meat (Fig. 2d-f) (Ha & Lindsay, 1990;...
Furthermore, neither the level of tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediates nor the oxygen consumption rate was altered upon BCKDHA knockdown; however, BCKDHA knockdown led to a dramatic reduction in the levels of both fatty acids and triglycerides. Thus, our data suggest that BCAA metabolism ...
The endosome-to-Golgi or endocytic retrograde trafficking pathway is an important post-Golgi recycling route. Here we show that amino acids (AAs) can stimulate the retrograde trafficking and regulate the cell surface localization of certain Golgi membran
