Analysis of small amounts of D-amino acids and the study of their physiological functions in mammals.

چکیده
D-amino acids, the enantiomers of L-amino acids, are candidates to be novel physiologically active substances and the biomarkers in mammals. However, the amounts of D-amino acids in the tissues and physiological fluids are extremely small in most cases, and sensitive and selective analytical methods are needed for their determination. In the present manuscript, we review the analytical technologies including our recent advances for the determinations of small amounts of D-amino acids in mammals and the applications to clarify their physiological meanings.

A STUDY OF ULTRASONIC ABSORPTION OF SOME AMINO ACIDS AND THEIR MIXTURES AT PHYSIOLOGICAL pH
In this paper, the ultrasonic absorption of amino acids was measured using a small cylindrical resonator at physiological pH and 25°C and a concentration of 0.1. M. The absorption of mixtures of some amino acids was also measured. In the case of cysteine-histidine, the absorption of mixtures is much larger (more than twice) than the summation of absorption of the individual amino acid. This...
متن کاملTheoretical study of the solvent effects on the thermodynamic functions of Alanine and Valine Amino Acids
Using Gaussian 03, software the thermodynamic functions such as Gibbs free energy, G, Enthalpy, H, and Entropy, S, of Alanine and Valine amino acids were theoretically studied at different solvents. First, the Density Functional Theory (B3LYP) level with 3-21G, 6-31G and 6-31+G basis sets were employed to optimization of isolated Alanine and Valine amino acids in the gas phase. Moreover, Vib...

In this study rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fillets were vacuum packed, frozen and stored at -18°C and the effect of this packaging method on proximate composition, fatty acids and amino acid profile and their changes compared to control conditions during 9 months of storage were studied. The results showed that 18 fatty acids were identified. The unsaturated fatty acid (UFA) were 56.77 ...

The thermodynamic functions such as enthalpy, H°, Gibbs free energy, G°, and entropy, S°, of Arginine and Lysine amino acids were theoretically studied at different polar solvents by using ²Gaussian o3², software. First, the structural optimization of isolated Arginine and Lysine were done in the gas phase by applying the Density Functional Theory (B3LYP) level ...
متن کاملA Review on Recent Findings on Amino Acids Requirements in Poult-Studies
Amino acids (AA) are important in poultry nutrition not only for protein deposition, but also for other metabolic functions; such as improving immune and gut functions. Although, some table values are available on amino acids requirement, AA requirements may vary due to changes in dietary composition and breeding selection. Thus amino acids requirements have remained an ongoing research topic. ...
