Arginase from kiwifruit: properties and seasonal variation [PDF]

, 1988
The in vitro activity of arginase (EC 3.5.3.1) was investigated in youngest-mature leaves and roots (1-3 mm diameter) of kiwifruit vines (Actinidia deliciosa var. deliciosa) during an annual growth cycle, and enzyme from root material partially purified.

Animal source foods, rich in essential amino acids, are important for linear growth and development of young children in low‐ and middle‐income countries

Maternal and Child Nutrition, 2022
Growth faltering under 5 years of age is unacceptably high worldwide, and even more children, while not stunted, fail to reach their growth potential. The time between conception and 2 years of age is critical for development.

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.

Arginine and nitrogen storage [PDF]

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2008
When nitrogen is abundant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic oxygen-producing photosynthetic organisms store nitrogen as arginine, by relieving feedback inhibition of the arginine biosynthesis controlling enzyme, N-acetylglutamate kinase (NAGK). The signalling protein PII, an ancient and widely distributed nitrogen/carbon/ADP/ATP sensor, mediates feedback ...
