A fibrinogen fragment obtained by limited-plasmin proteolysis has been isolated and purified to apparent homogeneity by gel filtrations. This fragment, denoted as 24-Kd fragment, has an apparent M, -24,000 and contains an N-terminal sequence of met-glu-leu-glu-arg-pro-gly-glyasn-glu-ile. The fragment contains a large number of acidic amino acid residues, and its amino acid composition is simila...

BACKGROUND Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous endocrine disorder frequently accompanied by obesity and by insulin resistance, and patients with this syndrome suffer from infertility and poor pregnancy outcome. Disturbances in plasma amino acid (AA) metabolism have been implicated in women with PCOS. However, direct evidence on follicular AA metabolic profiles in PCOS patients a...

Mammalian translation initiation factor 4F (eIF4F) consists of three subunits, eIF4A, eIF4E, and eIF4G. eIF4G interacts directly with both eIF4A and eIF4E. The binding site for eIF4E is contained in the amino-terminal third of eIF4G, while the binding site for eIF4A was mapped to the carboxy-terminal third of the molecule. Here we show that human eIF4G possesses two separate eIF4A binding domai...

Abstract Amino acid (AA) was used as a green grafting agent to functionalize polyepoxysuccinic (PESA), and three AA-modified PESA (AA-PESA) CaCO3 scale inhibitors were obtained change the structural singleness of further improve its comprehensive properties. The structures AA-PESA characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen (1HNMR) spectro...

Novel enantiopure pseudopeptide models containing a central -(β-lactam)-(Aa)- scaffold characterized by the combined presence of an α-alkyl-α-amino-β-lactam (i+1) residue and a α-substituted (i + 2) amino acid have been readily synthesized from α-alkyl serines. The conformational analysis of such β-lactam pseudopeptides conducted in CDCl(3) and DMSO-d(6) solutions using 1D- and 2D-NMR technique...

Amino acid (AA)-to-crude protein (CP) ratios in soybean meal (SBM) may be different for sources of SBM depending on the presence additional hulls. Therefore, this study was conducted to develop novel two-slope equations predict concentrations AAs using CP as an independent variable. Regression analyses were performed with each AA dependent variable and Among all AAs, predicted Lys (% dry matter...

pearl millet has tolerance to harsh growing conditions such as drought. it is at least equivalent to maize and generally superior to sorghum in protein content and metabolizable energy levels. thus it is of importance for poultry feeding. amino acid (aa) determination is expensive and time consuming. therefore nutritionists have prompted a search for alternatives to estimate aa levels. traditio...

This study showed that the antigenicity of a malarial epitope increased with the length of the epitope when inserted at positions aa26 (amino acid position 26) and aa196, but not at aa213, of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa major outer membrane protein OprF (326 amino acids). Immunization studies showed that a 19-aa epitope was significantly more immunogenic than a 7-aa epitope when inserted at aa26...

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. ...
