Quantum chemical study of molecular properties of small branched-chain amino acids in water [PDF]

Amino Acids
Four aliphatic amino acids—α-aminobutyric acid (AABA), β-aminobutyric acid (BABA), α-aminoisobutyric acid (AAIBA) and β-aminoisobutyric acid (BAIBA) were investigated in water as a solvent by two quantum chemical methods.

A Journey into the Blue: Current Knowledge and Emerging Insights into Marine-Derived Peptaibols [PDF]

Marine Drugs
Peptaibols represent a large family of membrane-active, linear fungal peptides, with variable lengths from 5 to 21 α–amino acid residues. As products of nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) biosynthetic machinery, they encompass several non ...

Roseabol A, a New Peptaibol from the Fungus Clonostachys rosea

Molecules, 2021
A new 11 amino acid linear peptide named roseabol A (1) and the known compound 13-oxo-trans-9,10-epoxy-11(E)-octadecenoic acid (2) were isolated from the fungus Clonostachys rosea. Combined NMR and MS analysis revealed that roseabol A (1) contained amino

A Weakened Immune Response to Synthetic Exo-Peptides Predicts a Potential Biosecurity Risk in the Retrieval of Exo-Microorganisms

Microorganisms, 2020
The discovery of liquid water at several locations in the solar system raises the possibility that microbial life may have evolved outside Earth and as such could be accidently introduced into the Earth’s ecosystem.

Ameliorative effects of functional crude-chalaza hydrolysates on the hepatosteatosis development induced by a high-fat diet

Poultry Science, 2021
Approximately 400 metric tons of egg chalazae, a byproduct in the liquid-egg processing plant, are produced yearly but always regarded as a waste in Taiwan.

Application of α-aminoisobutyric acid and β-aminoisobutyric acid inhibits pericarp browning of harvested longan fruit [PDF]

Chemistry Central Journal, 2015
Pericarp browning is a critical problem resulting in reduced commercial value and shelf life of longan fruit.Two non-protein amino acids, α-aminoisobutyric acid (AIB) and β-aminoisobutyric acid (BAIB) at 100 and 1 mM were applied to longan fruit prior to storage for up to 8 days at 25 °C respectively.

Urinary beta-aminoisobutyric acid excretion in thalassaemia [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1969
The quantity of beta-aminoisobutyric acid (BAIB) excreted in the urine of patients with an intact spleen suffering from thalassaemia major appears to be proportional to the number of the circulating normoblasts and inversely proportional to the haemoglobin level. After splenectomy only minute amounts of BAIB are excreted.

Elevated circulating level of β-aminoisobutyric acid (BAIBA) in heart failure patients with type 2 diabetes receiving sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2022
Aims The mechanism by which a sodium-glucose cotransporter inhibitor (SGLT2i) induces favorable effects on diabetes and cardiovascular diseases including heart failure (HF) remains poorly understood.
