Combined assessment of lysine and N-acetyl cadaverine levels assist as a potential biomarker of the smoker periodontitis

Amino Acids
Periodontitis is an inflammatory condition of supporting structures of teeth leading to attachment and bone loss. Cigarette smoking is the single most important and modifiable risk factor with 5 to 20-fold susceptibility for periodontal diseases. Reverse

Regulation of autophagy by amino acids and MTOR-dependent signal transduction

Amino Acids, 2014
Amino acids not only participate in intermediary metabolism but also stimulate insulin-mechanistic target of rapamycin (MTOR)-mediated signal transduction which controls the major metabolic pathways.

Lateralization of the 5-HT1A receptors in the basolateral amygdala in metabolic and anxiety responses to chronic restraint stress

Amino Acids
Behavioral and functional studies describe hemispheric asymmetry in anxiety and metabolic behaviors in responses to stress. However, no study has reported serotonergic receptor (the 5-HT1A receptor) lateralization in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) in ...

Theoretical prevision of physical chemical properties of amino acids from genetic code [PDF]

arXiv, 2000
Using the crystal basis model of the genetic code, a set of relations between the physical-chemical properties of the amino acids are derived and compared with the experimental data. A prevision for the not yet measured thermodynamical parameters of three amino acids is done.

Decarboxylative Arylation of α-Amino Acids via Photoredox Catalysis: A One-Step Conversion of Biomass to Drug Pharmacophore

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2014
The direct decarboxylative arylation of α-amino acids has been achieved via visible light-mediated photoredox catalysis. This method offers rapid entry to prevalent benzylic amine architectures from an abundant biomass, specifically α-amino acid ...

Kinetic analysis of D-Alanine upon oral intake in humans

Amino Acids
D-Alanine, a rare enantiomer of alanine, can potentially alleviate the worsening of viral infections and maintain circadian rhythm. This study aimed to analyze the kinetics of D-Alanine upon oral intake.

Nature's Starships II: Simulating the Synthesis of Amino Acids in Meteorite Parent Bodies

, 2015
Carbonaceous chondrite meteorites are known for having high water and organic material contents, including amino acids. Here we address the origin of amino acids in the warm interiors of their parent bodies (planetesimals) within a few million years of ...

PEGylation renders carnosine resistant to hydrolysis by serum carnosinase and increases renal carnosine levels

Amino Acids
Carnosine’s protective effect in rodent models of glycoxidative stress have provided a rational for translation of these findings in therapeutic concepts in patient with diabetic kidney disease.

Understanding conserved amino acids in proteins [PDF]

arXiv, 2000
It has been conjectured that evolution exerted pressure to preserve amino acids bearing thermodynamic, kinetic, and functional roles. In this letter we show that the physical requirement to maintain protein stability gives rise to a sequence conservatism pattern that is in remarkable agreement with that found in natural proteins.
