A search for mid-IR bands of amino acids in the Perseus Molecular Cloud [PDF]
Amino acids are building-blocks of proteins, basic constituents of all organisms and essential to life on Earth. They are present in carbonaceous chondrite meteorites and comets, but their origin is still unknown. We present Spitzer spectroscopic observations in the star-forming region IC 348 of the Perseus Molecular Cloud showing the possible ...

Branched-chain amino acids and muscle protein synthesis in humans: myth or reality?
The branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) are leucine, valine and isoleucine. A multi-million dollar industry of nutritional supplements has grown around the concept that dietary supplements of BCAAs alone produce an anabolic response in humans driven by a ...

ObjectiveWe conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study to assess the causal relationship between circulating isoleucine, leucine and valine levels and the risk of peripheral atherosclerosis.MethodsBased on the large-scale genome-wide ...

Amino acid-driven hydrophobization of alumina and production of particle stabilised foams in a broader pH range [PDF]
The interaction of amino acids (glycine, L-valine, L-isoleucine and L-leucine) with alumina surface was studied to induce partial hydrophobization and production of ultrastable particle-stabilised foams. The evaluation of these amino acids was carried out by mechano-quantum simulations followed by experimental tests (foamability, zeta potential ...

Integrated molar absorptivity of mid- and far-infrared spectra of glycine and other selected amino acids [PDF]
A selection of five proteinogenic amino acids, namely glycine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan were studied in the mid-infrared and in the far-infrared with the purpose to facilitate the search and identification of these astrobiological and astrochemical relevant molecules in space environments.

The role of octadecanoids and functional mimics in soybean defense responses [PDF]
Oxylipins of the jasmonate pathway and synthetic functional analogs have been analyzed for their elicitor like activities in an assay based on the induced accumulation of glyceollins, the phytoalexins of soybean (Glycine max L.), in cell suspension ...

BackgroundCo-production of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) and amino acids makes bacteria effective microbial cell factories by secreting amino acids outside while accumulating PHA granules inside. Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) is one of

A search for mid-IR bands of amino acids in the Perseus Molecular Cloud [PDF]
Amino acids are building-blocks of proteins, basic constituents of all organisms and essential to life on Earth. They are present in carbonaceous chondrite meteorites and comets, but their origin is still unknown. Formation of amino acids in the interstellar medium is posible via specific gas-phase reactions in dark clouds, however sensitive ...

Isoleucine 2-epimerase (ILEP) is a novel branched-chain amino acid racemase isolated from Lactobacillus buchneri. In this study, we examined production of free d-branched-chain amino acids such as d-valine, d-leucine, and d-allo-isoleucine, using lactic ...
