Electron Attachment to DNA: The Protective Role of Amino Acids [PDF]
, 2022 We have studied the effect of amino acids on electron attachment properties of DNA nucleobases, taking cytosine as a model system. The equation of motion coupled cluster theory with an extended basis set has been used to simulate the electron-attached state of the DNA model system. Four selected amino acids, Arginine, Alanine, Lysine, and Glycine which

Thermal neutron cross sections of amino acids from average contributions of functional groups [PDF]
, 2021 The experimental thermal neutron cross sections of the twenty proteinogenic amino acids have been measured over the incident-neutron energy range spanning from 1 meV to 10 keV and data have been interpreted using the multi-phonon expansion based on first-principles calculations.

Promises and Challenges in Continuous Tracking Utilizing Amino Acids in Skin Secretions for Active Multi-Factor Biometric Authentication for Cybersecurity [PDF]
ChemPhysChem 18 (13), 1714-1720 (2017), 2017 We consider a new concept of biometric-based cybersecurity systems for active authentication by continuous tracking, which utilizes biochemical processing of metabolites present in skin secretions. Skin secretions contain a large number of metabolites and small molecules that can be targeted for analysis.

Protein sorting to mitochondria [PDF]
, 1990 According to the endosymbiont hypothesis, mitochondria have lost the autonomy of their prokaryotic ancestors. They have to import most of their proteins from the cytosol because the mitochondrial genome codes for only a small percentage of the ...

Nature's Starships. I. Observed Abundances and Relative Frequencies of Amino Acids in Meteorites [PDF]
, 2014 The class of meteorites called carbonaceous chondrites are examples of material from the solar system which have been relatively unchanged from the time of their initial formation. These meteorites have been classified according to the temperatures and physical conditions of their parent planetesimals.

Branched chain amino acids, an ''essential'' link between diet, clock and sleep? [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The branched-chain amino acids: leucine, isoleucine and valine occupy a special place among the essential amino acids because of their importance not only in the structure of proteins but also in general and cerebral metabolism. Among the first amino acids absorbed after food intake, they play a major role in the regulation of protein synthesis and ...

Stimulation of a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase by insulin and the sulfonylurea, glimepiride, in rat adipocytes depends on increased glucose transport [PDF]
, 1994 . Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and glycolipidanchored cAMP-binding ectoprotein (Gcel) are modified by glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) in rat adipocytes, however, the linkage is potentially unstable. Incubation of the cells with either insulin (0.1-30 nM)
