The membrane penicillinase (EC 3.5.2.6; penicillin amido-beta-lactamhydrolase) of Bacillus licheniforis 749/C, which appears to be an intermediate in the formation of the exoenzyme, is a phospholipoprotein that carries an NH2-terminal chain of 24 amino acids (only serine, glycine, aspartic acid, asparagine, glutamic acid, and glutamine) and a phosphatidylserine that is not present in the exoenz...

Urinary excretions of protein and amino acids were measured before and after exposure of rats to inhalation of nickel carbonyl in LD40 dosage. Urinary excretion of total protein was increased by an average of 2.4-fold on the first day after exposure and remained elevated (2.0-fold and 1.9-fold) on the second and third days. Urinary excretions of 16 neutral or basic amino acids were all increase...

It has been suggested that the features of saliva (e.g. fluidity, secretion and amino acid concentration) reflect physiological and psychological state of primates as well as subprimates, however, studies which revealed the relationship between the circadian rhythm and the concentrations of salivary amino acids have been limited. In order to better understand their physiological role, diurnal c...

Prochymosin is one of the most important aspartic proteinases used as a milk-clotting enzyme in cheese production. In the present investigation we report sequence of cDNA encoding goat ( Capra hircus ) preprochymosin and compare its nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences with sequences of other ruminants preprochymosin. As bovine prochymosin, the caprine prochymosin cDNA encodes 365 amino ...

Radish (Raphanus sativus) is a Brassica vegetable important for human nutrition and health because it rich in diverse metabolites. Although previous studies have evaluated various metabolites, few comprehensively profiled the primary secondary metabolites roots of white- green-colored radishes. Thus, this study aimed to provide information about contents beneficial both cultivars investigate re...

Abstract Background The serum metabolome contains potential disease biomarkers, some of which are produced endogenously, derived from the diet, or formed by gut microbiome. We aimed to characterize metabolomics profiles linked with Crohn Disease (CD), active CD, and remitting pre-flare CD. Methods Serum untargeted was performed using liquid chromatography Mass Spectrometer (LC/MS). PERMANOVA on...

Soil amino acids are often an important source of nitrogen (N) for plants, and anticipated global changes, including climate warming and rising atmospheric CO2 levels, have the potential to alter plant and microbial production and consumption of this N source in soils. We determined soil amino acid composition over a 1-year period at diurnal and seasonal time scales in a multi-factor global cha...
