Total and free amino acid composition of germinating cotton seeds (Gossypium hirsutum L.) was determined. The germinating seeds were separated into cotyledon and developing axis fractions daily and the composition of each tissue was summed to get the whole seed composition. By separating the developing seeds into these two tissue fractions, and determining total and free amino acids, a balance ...

Soft X-ray natural circular dichroism (CD) of amino acids is studied by means of ab initio methods. Several approaches to evaluate the oscillator and rotary strengths of core-tovalence excitations are compared from the viewpoint of basis set dependence. It was shown that, among considered methods, the random phase approximation (RPA) provides most consistent and less time-consuming results for ...

The molecular dynamics and density functional theory (DFT) can be applied to discriminate electrocatalyst’s electron transfer (ET) properties. It will interesting the ET properties of green electrocatalysts such as amino acids. Here, we have used DFT compare electrocatalytic abilities asparagine glutamine at carbon paste electrode interface. Cyclic voltammetric results reveal that activities as...

A region of the alpha subunit of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor containing the alpha-bungarotoxin-binding domain was mapped on the primary amino acid sequence in relation to asparagine-141, the presumed site of N-linked glycosylation. Proteolytic fragments of the alpha subunit, immobilized onto positively charged membrane filters, that bind 125I-labeled bungarotoxin were further analyzed ...

Background: Given the important role of amino acids in regulating many metabolic pathways of the body and considering the scarcity of markers for the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and its differentiation, we aimed to investigate the status of serum amino acids chromatography in children with IBD. Materials and Methods This case-control study was conducted among children with pri...

Optimization of fed-batch feeding parameters was explored for a system with multiple mechanisms of product inactivation. In particular, two separate mechanisms of inactivation were identified for the recombinant tissue-type activator (r-tPA) protein. Dynamic inactivation models were written to describe particular r-tPA glycoform inactivation in the presence and absence of free-glucose. A glucos...

Acrylamide, a potential carcinogen and neurotoxin, could be formed during the heat processing of carbohydrate-rich foods under high temperatures. Maillard reaction between reducing sugars and amino acids is the main pathway to form acrylamide. All of the types of reducing sugars and amino acids as well as the addition of vitamins may influence the formation of acrylamide. To explore the influen...

The structural and functional diversity of the human proteome is mediated by N- and O-linked glycosylations that define the individual properties of extracellular and membrane-associated proteins. In this study, we utilized different computational tools to perform in silico based genome-wide mapping of 1,117 human proteins and unravel the contribution of both penultimate and vicinal amino acids...

This study is aimed at screening non-Saccharomyces for amino acids decarboxylation potentials. The yeasts were isolated from banana fruit and honey purchased markets in Rivers State. isolation molecular identification of yeast isolates according to standard microbiological procedures. A plate assay method acid (biogenic amine production) was used. Wild Non-Saccharomyces (NSY) identified as Cand...
