I. Arginine

Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 2002
L-Arginine (Arg) is classified as an essential amino acid for birds, carnivores and young mammals and a conditionally essential amino acid for adults. It is converted by arginase to L-ornithine, a precursor of polyamines and urea, which is important in the urea cycle.

Arginine Promotes the Expression of Aquaporin-3 and Water Transport in Porcine Trophectoderm Cells Through NO- and cAMP-Dependent Mechanisms

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2022
Background: Dietary supplementation with L-arginine (Arg) has been shown to increase the volume of fetal fluids in gestating swine. Aquaporins (AQPs), known as water channel proteins, are essential for embryonic growth and development.

Next-Generation Sequencing for Determining the Effect of Arginine on Human Dental Biofilms Using an In Situ Model

Pharmacy, 2021
Oral biofilms are associated with caries, periodontal diseases, and systemic diseases. Generally, antimicrobial therapy is used as the first line of treatment for infectious diseases; however, bacteria in biofilms eventually develop antibiotic resistance.

Functional Characterization of Saccharomyces cerevisiae P5C Reductase, the Enzyme at the Converging Point of Proline and Arginine Metabolism

Microorganisms, 2022
The enzyme that, in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, catalyzes the last step in both proline synthesis and arginine catabolism, δ1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate (P5C) reductase, was purified to near homogeneity and characterized thoroughly.

Antimicrobial activity, membrane interaction and structural features of short arginine-rich antimicrobial peptides

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Antimicrobial activity of many AMPs can be improved by lysine-to-arginine substitution due to a more favourable interaction of arginine guanidinium moiety with bacterial membranes.
