A micromethod for the determination of arginine [PDF]

, 1941
Micromethods for the determination of arginine based on the use of the Sakaguchi reagent have been described (14). This reagent gives a strong color with glycocyamine, arginine, and other monosubstituted guanidine derivatives.

Fabrication and properties of L-arginine-doped PCL electrospun composite scaffolds [PDF]

, 2017
The article describes fabrication and properties of composite fibrous scaffolds obtained by electrospinning of the solution of poly({\epsilon}-caprolactone) and arginine in common solvent. The influence of arginine content on structure, mechanical, surface and biological properties of the scaffolds was investigated.

Flipping out: role of arginine in hydrophobic interactions and biological formulation design. [PDF]

Chem Sci
Arginine has been a mainstay in biological formulation development for decades. To date, the way arginine modulates protein stability has been widely studied and debated. Here, we employed a hydrophobic polymer to decouple hydrophobic effects from other interactions relevant to protein folding.

C9orf72 repeat expansions cause neurodegeneration in Drosophila through arginine-rich proteins [PDF]

Science, 2014
An expanded GGGGCC repeat in C9orf72 is the most common genetic cause of frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. A fundamental question is whether toxicity is driven by the repeat RNA itself and/or by dipeptide repeat proteins ...

Sum frequency generation spectroscopy of the attachment disc of a spider [PDF]

, 2020
The pyriform silk of the attachment disc of a spider was studied using infrared-visible vibrational sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy. The spider can attach dragline and radial lines to many kinds of substrates in nature (concrete, alloy, metal, glass, plant branches, leaves, etc.) with the attachment disc.

Glutamate, Ornithine, Arginine, Proline, and Polyamine Metabolic Interactions: The Pathway Is Regulated at the Post-Transcriptional Level [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
The metabolism of glutamate into ornithine, arginine, proline, and polyamines is a major network of nitrogen-metabolizing pathways in plants, which also produces intermediates like nitric oxide, and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) that play critical roles in ...

Arginine-rich peptides destabilize the plasma membrane, consistent with a pore formation translocation mechanism of cell penetrating peptides [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, Volume 97, Issue 7, 7 October 2009, Pages 1917-1925, 2009
Recent molecular dynamics simulations (Herce and Garcia, PNAS, 104: 20805 (2007)) have suggested that the arginine-rich HIV Tat peptides might be able to translocate by destabilizing and inducing transient pores in phospholipid bilayers. In this pathway for peptide translocation, arginine residues play a fundamental role not only in the binding of the ...

The conversion of citrulline to arginine in kidney [PDF]

, 1941
Glycocyamine is formed in the kidney by the transfer of the amidine group of arginine to the nitrogen atom of glycine. In the study of this reaction it was observed that glycocyamine was also formed from citrulline and glycine.

Nitrogen utilization analysis reveals the synergetic effect of arginine and urea in promoting fucoxanthin biosynthesis in the mixotrophic marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Fucoxanthin is a new dietary ingredient applied in healthy foods with specific benefits of body weight loss and liver fat reduction. The marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum is a highly suitable species for fucoxanthin production. In the present study,

Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 Requires the Bidirectional Hydrogenase to Metabolize Glucose and Arginine Under Oxic Conditions

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp.PCC 6803 possesses a bidirectional NiFe-hydrogenase, HoxEFUYH. It functions to produce hydrogen under dark, fermentative conditions and photoproduces hydrogen when dark-adapted cells are illuminated.
