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.

The Factors of the Classification of Protein Amino Acids [PDF]

This paper is published in GLASNIK of Montenegrin Academy of Science and arts, 2000, 13, pp. 173-194, 2006
In this work it is shown that three pairs of the factors appear to be the key, i.e. main factors of a natural classification of protein (canonical) amino acids within the amino acid (genetic) code. First pair: the factors of the habit of an amino acid molecule (size and polarity).

Grain legumes and human health [PDF]

, 2009
Since early civilisation in different continents, grain legumes have been a part of balanced diets together with cereals. In general the seeds from those two plant families give together a good source of essential amino acids and may have given an ...

Different domains cooperate to target the human ribosomal L7a protein to the nucleus and to the nucleoli. [PDF]

, 1997
The human ribosomal protein L7a is a component of the major ribosomal subunit. We transiently expressed in HeLa cells L7a-β-galactosidase fusion proteins and studied their subcellular localization by indirect immunofluorescence staining with anti-β ...

mTORC1 Senses Lysosomal Amino Acids Through an Inside-Out Mechanism That Requires the Vacuolar H+-ATPase

Science, 2011
Cellular sensing of amino acids occurs at the lysosome and is mediated by the vacuolar proton pump. The mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) protein kinase is a master growth regulator that is stimulated by amino acids.

Structural and mechanistic basis for the regulation of the chloroplast signal recognition particle by (p)ppGpp

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
LHCPs are transported to the thylakoid membrane via the (cp)SRP pathway. This process involves a transit complex of (cp)SRP43, (cp)SRP54 and LHCP, which interacts with (cp)FtsY and Alb3 at the membrane. GTP hydrolysis by (cp)SRP54 and (cp)FtsY triggers complex dissociation.

Amino Acids, Amino Acid Derivatives and Peptides as Antioxidants

, 2022
[Excerpt] The biological concept of antioxidant refers to any compound that is able to delay or 5 prevent the oxidation of easily oxidizable substrates, such as DNA, proteins and 6 lipids. Antioxidants reduce oxidative stress and mutations in DNA as well as other 7 parameters associated with cell damage.

Differentiated metabolomic profiling reveals plasma amino acid signatures for primary glomerular disease

Amino Acids
Primary glomerular disease (PGD) is an idiopathic cause of renal glomerular lesions that is characterized by proteinuria or hematuria and is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The identification of circulating biomarkers for the diagnosis

Correlations of Amino Acids with Secondary Structure Types: Connection with Amino Acid Structure [PDF]

arXiv, 2005
The correlations of primary and secondary structures were analyzed using proteins with known structure from Protein Data Bank. The correlation values of amino acid type and the eight secondary structure types at distant position were calculated for distances between -25 and 25.

Inhibitory postsynaptic actions of taurine, GABA and other amino acids on motoneurons of the isolated frog spinal cord [PDF]

, 1975
The actions of glycine, GABA, α-alanine, β-alanine and taurine were studied by intracellular recordings from lumbar motoneurons of the isolated spinal cord of the frog.
