Titration of dietary isoleucine and evaluation of branched-chain amino acid levels in female Cobb 500 broilers during a 22- to 42-day finisher period [PDF]
SUMMARY: Recent research into the branched-chain amino acids has indicated that broiler responses to dietary isoleucine may vary from classic data. Current isoleucine data has focused on male broilers leaving a gap in the literature for female data.

Kinetic proofreading at single molecular level: Aminoacylation of tRNA^{Ile} and the role of water as an editor [PDF]
Proofreading/editing in protein synthesis is essential for accurate translation of information from the genetic code. In this article we present a theoretical investigation of efficiency of a kinetic proofreading mechanism that employs hydrolysis of the wrong substrate as the discriminatory step in enzyme catalytic reactions. We consider aminoacylation

NMR-based assignment of isoleucine vs allo-isoleucine stereochemistry [PDF]
A simple 1H and 13C NMR spectrometric analysis is demonstrated that permits differentiation of isoleucine and allo-isoleucine residues by inspection of the chemical shift and coupling constants of the signals associated with the proton and carbon at the ...

tRNA-isoleucine-tryptophan Composite Gene [PDF]
Transfer-RNA genes in archaea often have introns intervening between exon sequences. The structural motif at the boundary between exon and intron is the bulge-helix-bulge. Computational investigations of these boundary structures in H. marismortui lead us to propose that tRNA-isoleucine and tRNA-tryptophan genes are co-located.

Three phases in the evolution of the standard genetic code: how translation could get started [PDF]
A primordial genetic code is proposed, having only four codons assigned, GGC meaning glycine, GAC meaning aspartate/glutamate, GCC meaning alanine-like and GUC meaning valine-like. Pathways of ambiguity reduction enlarged the codon repertoire with CUC meaning leucine, AUC meaning isoleucine, ACC meaning threonine-like and GAG meaning glutamate ...

Isoleucine-to-valine substitutions support cellular physiology during isoleucine deprivation. [PDF]
Abstract Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (ARSs) couple tRNAs with their corresponding amino acids. While ARSs can bind structurally similar amino acids, extreme specificity is ensured by subsequent editing activity. Yet, we found that upon isoleucine (I) restriction, healthy fibroblasts consistently incorporated valine (V) into proteins at ...

Studies on the the Isoleucine Fermentation
Accumulation of L-isoleucine and L-valine was studied on 14 genera, 47 species and 110 strains of aerobic bacteria using bacterial type cultures. A large amount of L-isoleucine and a small amount of L-valine accumulated when 1% of DL-α-aminobutyric acid was added to the culture medium.

Isoleucine Enhanced the Function of the Small Intestinal Mucosal Barrier in Weaned Piglets to Alleviate Rotavirus Infection. [PDF]
Background: Rotavirus (RV) is a major cause of diarrhea in young children and animals, especially piglets, leading to substantial economic losses in the global pig industry.
