Production of human recombinant proapolipoprotein A-I in Escherichia coli: purification and biochemical characterization [PDF]
, 1989 A human liver cDNA library was used to isolate a clone coding for apolipoprotein A-I (Apo A-I). The clone carries the sequence for the prepeptide (18 amino acids), the propeptide (6 amino acids), and the mature protein (243 amino acids).

Differentiation Between Ripening Stages of Iberian Dry-Cured Ham According to the Free Amino Acids Content [PDF]
, 2020 In this paper, the differentiation of three ripening stages, postsalting, drying, and cellar, of Iberian dry-cured ham has been carried out according to their free amino acids contents. Eighteen L-amino acids, alanine, 2-aminobutanoic acid, aspartic acid,

Distances and classification of amino acids for different protein secondary structures
, 2003 Window profiles of amino acids in protein sequences are taken as a description of the amino acid environment. The relative entropy or Kullback-Leibler distance derived from profiles is used as a measure of dissimilarity for comparison of amino acids and ...

Enantiomerically pure β-phenylalanine analogues from α–β-phenylalanine mixtures in a single reactive extraction step [PDF]
, 2010 An efficient and selective method for the extraction of α-amino acids in preference over their β-isomers using PdCl2(PPh3)2 was discovered, which enables the separation of product mixtures obtained in the enantioselective enzymatic formation of β-amino ...

A thermodynamic basis for prebiotic amino acid synthesis and the nature of the first genetic code
, 2009 Of the twenty amino acids used in proteins, ten were formed in Miller's atmospheric discharge experiments. The two other major proposed sources of prebiotic amino acid synthesis include formation in hydrothermal vents and delivery to Earth via meteorites.

Supernovae, Neutrinos, and the Chirality of the Amino Acids
, 2011 A mechanism for creating an enantioenrichment in the amino acids, the building blocks of the proteins, that involves global selection of one handedness by interactions between the amino acids and neutrinos from core-collapse supernovae is described.
