Branched Chain Amino Acids: Beyond Nutrition Metabolism
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018 Branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), including leucine (Leu), isoleucine (Ile), and valine (Val), play critical roles in the regulation of energy homeostasis, nutrition metabolism, gut health, immunity and disease in humans and animals.

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 ...

Branched-chain amino acids in disease
Science, 2019 Are BCAAs a biomarker, causal agent, or both in cardiometabolic disease? Human proteins are assembled from 20 amino acids, nine of which are considered “essential” because they cannot be synthesized from other metabolites in the human body.

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.

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,

A search for mid-IR bands of amino acids in the Perseus Molecular Cloud [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Amino acids are building-blocks of proteins, basic constituents of all organisms and essential to life on Earth. They are present in carbonaceous chondrite meteorites and comets, but their origin is still unknown. Formation of amino acids in the interstellar medium is posible via specific gas-phase reactions in dark clouds, however sensitive ...
