Ostracode-based aminostratigraphy and aminochronology of a tufa system in central Spain [PDF]
In the Priego area, central Spain, extensive tufa deposits are located in three small tributaries located at the head of the 1000 kmlong Tagus River. The deposits are originated after karst-origin running waters emerged from the confines of the canyons ...

Nitrogen isotopes provide clues to amino acid metabolism in human colorectal cancer cells
Glutamic acid and alanine make up more than 60 per cent of the total amino acids in the human body. Glutamine is a significant source of energy for cells and also a prime donor of nitrogen in the biosynthesis of many amino acids.

Quantification of Glutamate and Aspartate by Ultra-High Performance Liquid Chromatography
Glutamic and aspartic acid fulfil numerous functions in organisms. They are proteinogenic amino acids, they function as neurotransmitters, and glutamic acid links the citrate cycle with amino acid metabolism. In addition, glutamic acid is a precursor for

A reappraisal of nitrogen-to-protein conversion factors in cassava roots. [S10-05] [PDF]
A study was conducted comparing the amino acid profiles of 10 commercial varieties (COL) and 15 clones with the highest levels of nitrogen (HIN) over two years of harvests. The highest nitrogen values detected in roots to date are close to 1.30%.
