to determine the amount of food amino acid and to spend time in the laboratories are expensive & time-consuming due to a chemical analysis. in the current laboratories, digestion nirs method is widely used for this purpose. but this method has technical limitation. therefor is important find appropriate method for estimate amount of amino acids. artificial neural network (ann) can provide a bet...

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...

Two dimensional thin layer chromatography on polyamide sheets is a useful method for identification of PTH-amino acids which have very close Rf-values. The solvent systems described here are particularly effective and have an edge over other solvent systems used for the separation of PTH-amino acids. The solvent systems provide a clear separation of all PTH-amono acids except lle / Leu in a...

An experiment was conducted using steers cannulated at the rumen, duodenum and ileum to study the effects of increasing the levels of barley and fishmeal in straw-based diets. Diets A, B, C and D contained ammonia-treated straw, barley and fishmeal in the ratios, 67:33:0, 66:23:11, 53:47:0 and 52:36:12 (by weight) and were offered in daily amounts of 3.9, 3.9, 4.8 and 4.8 kg dry matter. The eff...

We examined 96 pigs (28.1 ± 0.83 kg) to analyze the effect of Leu:Lys ratios on expression of the cationic amino acid transporters b(0,+) and CAT-1 in the jejunum and liver as well as myosin expression in 2 muscles to estimate the optimum standardized ileal digestible (SID) Leu:Lys ratio for growth rate and efficiency. A wheat-and wheat bran-based diets were formulated to meet the requirements ...

Considerable progress has been made over the last 30 years in the United States to develop systems that describe protein requirements and protein adequacy of diets for dairy cows. Ration formulation systems have moved from balancing diets for crude protein (CP) and digestible protein to the use of nutritional models (e.g., NRC, 2001; CNCPS, CPM-Dairy, and Amino Cow) that recognize that the cow ...

Catabolism of Trp and Lys produces alpha-ketoadipic acid as an intermediary metabolite. An alternate pathway of Trp turnover leads to NAD synthesis. We hypothesized that excess Lys might improve the conversion of Trp to niacin by causing a buildup of alpha-ketoadipic acid, thereby endproduct inhibiting the main Trp catabolic pathway and resulting in more niacin synthesis from Trp. Six bioassays...

quorum sensing controls the luminescence of vibrio fischeri through the transcriptional activator luxr and the specific autoinducer signal produced by luxi. amino acid sequences of these two genes were analyzed using bioinformatics tools. luxi consists of 193 amino acids and appears to contain five α-helices and six ß-sheets when analyzed by sspro8. luxi belongs to the autoinducer synthetase fa...
