Dietary leucine requirement of older men and women is higher than current recommendations.
BACKGROUND Current national (34 mg . kg-1 . d-1) and international (39 mg kg-1 . d-1) recommendations for leucine in older adults are based on data from young adults.

Interactions of amino terminal domains of Shaker K channels with a pore blocking site studied with synthetic peptides [PDF]
Synthetic peptides of the five alternative NH2-terminal sequences of Shaker when applied to the cytoplasmic side of ShB channels that have an NH2-terminal deletion (ShB delta 6-46) block the channel with potencies correlated with the rate of inactivation

Leucine-rich repeat extensin proteins regulate plant salt tolerance in Arabidopsis
Significance Plants have evolved cell-wall integrity signaling pathways to maintain cell-wall homeostasis in response to stress conditions, but the components involved in the perception and transduction of cell-wall signals are largely unknown.

Synthesis and Antiviral Bioactivity of Chiral Thioureas Containing Leucine and Phosphonate Moieties
A series of novel chiral thioureas 3a-n bearing leucine and phosphonate moieties were synthesized in excellent yields. The structures of the compounds were completely characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H-, 13C-, 31P- and 19F-NMR spectral data.

A putative leucine-rich repeat receptor kinase involved in brassinosteroid signal transduction.
Brassinosteroids are a class of growth-promoting regulators that play a key role throughout plant development. Despite their importance, nothing is known of the mechanism of action of these steroid hormones.

Potential uptake of dissolved organic matter by seagrasses and macroalgae [PDF]
Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) acts as a large reservoir of fixed nitrogen. Whereas DON utilization is common in the microbial community, little is known about utilization by macrophytes.
