A growing demand for plant-based protein has seen a resurgence in the utilisation of pulses such as lentil and chickpea protein-rich substrate to produce food products traditionally based on animal or cereal protein. Additionally, offer metabolic benefits due bioactivity compounds including phenolic acids, simple complex carbohydrates more complete amino-acid profile which is not found grains. ...

Mountain animal food products are at the center of attention due to their intrinsic value and, as such, mountain beekeeping deserve and effort for valorisation. The work aimed investigating quality traits honey samples from Kyrgyzstan, giving particular emphasis on amino acid profiles possible relationship with other chemical-physical characteristics. moisture content, acidity, pH, diastase act...

Abstract By limiting the nitrogen source to glutamic acid, we isolated cyclic peptides from Euglena gracilis containing asparagine and non‐proteinogenic amino acids. Structure elucidation was accomplished through spectroscopic methods, mass spectrometry chemical degradation. The euglenatides potently inhibit pathogenic fungi cancer cell lines e.g., euglenatide B exhibiting IC 50 values of 4.3 μ...

Tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.) is one of the most important cut flowers in Iran. This research was conducted to investigate the effects of spraying a mixture of amino acids on the physiological and morphological characteristics of tuberose. The experiment was carried out in two successive years (2009 and 2010) using two tuberose cultivars ‘Dezfuli’ and ‘Mahallati’. The experiment was arrange...

Commercially available amino acids mixtures have several advantages such as enhancing assimilation of fertilizer, facilitating uptake of water and nutrients and improving photosynthesis of plants. To investigate the response of gerbera (Gerbera jamesonni L.) flowers ‘Saltino’ to foliar application of a mixture of 19 essential amino acids (0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 mg L-1) and ammonium nitrate (200 mg...

Nitrogen (N) fertilizer is used routinely in potato (Solanum tuberosum) cultivation to maximize yield. However, it also affects sugar and free amino acid concentrations in potato tubers, and this has potential implications for food quality and safety because free amino acids and reducing sugars participate in the Maillard reaction during high-temperature cooking and processing. This results in ...

This paper considers the generation of some interpretable fuzzy rules for assigning an amino acid sequence into the appropriate protein superfamily. Since the main objective of this classifier is the interpretability of rules, we have used the distribution of amino acids in the sequences of proteins as features. These features are the occurrence probabilities of six exchange groups in the seque...

The transepithelial electrical potential difference across the isolated midgut of Bombyx mori larvae is dependent on the presence of potassium and is unaffected by the addition of hexoses to perfusion media, whereas it is enhanced by alanine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid and the corresponding 2oxoacids, glutamine and malate. The midgut enzyme profile indicates that the substrates for the tricar...

Amino acid metabolism and transport was investigated in the leaves of 3-week-old nonnodulated seedlings of Pisum sativum L. Xylem sap entering the shoot contained nitrate (about 5 millimolar), and amino compounds (11 millimolar) of which 70% was asparagine plus glutamine; aspartate and homoserine were also present. Mature leaves showed stable nitrogen levels and incoming nitrogen was redistribu...

Protein splicing is a post-translational process in which a biologically inactive protein is activated by the release of a segment denoted as an intein. The process involves four steps. In the third, the scission of the intein takes place after the cyclization of the last amino acid of the segment, an asparagine. Little is known about the chemical reaction necessary for this cyclization. Experi...
