Learning the Hydrophilic, Hydrophobic and Aromatic Character of Amino Acids from their Interfacial Thermal Conductance in Water [PDF]
, 2021 In this study, the thermal relaxation of the 20 naturally occurring amino-acids in water is investigated using transient non-equilibrium molecular-dynamics simulations. By modeling the thermal relaxation process, the relaxation times of the amino-acids in water occurs over a timescale covering 2-5 ps.

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

Symmetry Scheme for Amino Acid Codons [PDF]
Phys.Rev.E65, 021912 (2002), 2003 Group theoretical concepts are invoked in a specific model to explain how only twenty amino acids occur in nature out of a possible sixty four. The methods we use enable us to justify the occurrence of the recently discovered twenty first amino acid selenocysteine, and also enables us to predict the possible existence of two more, as yet undiscovered ...

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.

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.

Transcriptional regulation of the IGF signaling pathway by amino acids and insulin-like growth factors during myogenesis in Atlantic salmon [PDF]
, 2010 The insulin-like growth factor signalling pathway is an important regulator of skeletal muscle growth. We examined the mRNA expression of components of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signalling pathway as well as Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 (FGF2 ...

Frontiers in ImmunologyIntroductionL-Glutamate is a conditionally essential amino acid, meaning it can become essential under specific conditions, like stress or disease. It is an abundant intracellular amino acid crucial in immune responses.

Formation of oligopeptides in high yield under simple programmable conditions [PDF]
, 2015 Many high-yielding reactions for forming peptide bonds have been developed but these are complex, requiring activated amino-acid precursors and heterogeneous supports.
